The National Monuments Service's description
Higgins (1987, vol. 2, 314, nos. 40 and 41) records that there used to be two slabs incorporated in the wall which divides ‘St. Soorney’s Bush’ (GA110-082----) from the nearby ‘St. Soorney’s Well’ (GA110-082001-). Both were small and bore simple pocked Latin crosses. The wall, which was constructed of loose stone, appears to have been rebuilt and both are now lost (ibid.).
