The National Monuments Service's description
Found on the outer terrace (KE104A001016-) on the steep rocky W-facing slopes of the South Peak of Sceilg Mhichíl (Horn et al. 1990, 62-3). This roughly shaped damaged stone cross (L 0.48m; Wth 0.25m; T 0.04m) has one arm and a rounded head. The shaft is intact but the head is largely gone. This cross is now in the care of the OPW (National Monuments Depot, Killarney). The SMR number at its original location on Sceilg Mhichíl is KE104A001015-.
