The National Monuments Service's description
Within the graveyard (GA040-012003-) associated with ‘St. Patrick’s Church’ (GA040-013001-). This cross was found by Higgin (1987, vol. II, 388, no. 108) who describes it as a plain cruciform-shaped slab of limestone (H 0.86m; arm span 0.35m; T 0.07m). It is set loosely in the ground and is in a secondary position. It is a well-shaped solid-headed cross with semicircular areas of stone between the two upper parts of the arms and two slight concave spaces beneath the lower parts.
