The National Monuments Service's description

Holy bush located at the side of a road leading to the village of Ballinakill in an upland area 480m to the NW of Dysart church (LA030-011001-). Whitethorn bush covered with rags attached to the branches of the bush. Base of high cross (LA030-011003; LA030-047002-) located at the base of the bush, this cross base appears to have been moved from Dysart church (LA030-011001-).
