The National Monuments Service's description
The base of a high cross, probably from the same cross as the fragments (LE032-008005-; LE032-008003-) is within the graveyard attached to the site of the early Church. It is sandstone (dims of base 0.89m x 0.73m; dims of top 0.62m x 0.49m; H 0.57m), and has moulding around the angles. On top is a raised collar with a socket (dims 0.24m x 0.2m; D 0.17m). (Kelly 1993, 158)
