The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the base of a S-facing slope and within the enclosure of St Mary's holy well (LE015-105001-). An upright slab (H 1.2m; Wth 0.4m; T 0.15m) fashioned into a rough cross, probably from a cut-stone window lintel, is surmounted by a sandstone finial cross with a solid ring head (LE015-105003-). Both features are possibly from the old church at Killarga (LE015-103001-), c. 350m to the NW.
