The National Monuments Service's description
This damaged stone cross (L 0.21m; Wth 0.11m; T 0.03m) was found in a hut site (KE104A001013-) on the South Peak of Sceilg Mhichíl (Horn et al. 1990, 32). It has a rounded head and one partially broken short arm with a rounded angle beneath. The other arm is missing but its rounded angle is intact. The lower end of the shaft is partially broken. It is now in the care of the OPW (National Monuments Depot, Killarney). The SMR number at its original location on Sceilg Mhichíl is KE104A001012-. (O'Sullivan and Sheehan, 1996, 278-90, no. 948 (24))
