The National Monuments Service's description
A limestone block (dims L 1.04m; Wth 0.9m; 0.48m) with a shallow rectangular mortice, now lying beside a small heap of limestone rubble on which it appears to have stood originally; possibly the 'very small mound' noted in the OSL (Herity 2002 157 (2)). It is possibly 'Richard Fitzgerald's cross' mentioned in 1591 as marking the mearing of lands at Rathbride (JKAS 1899-1902, 396-7).
