The National Monuments Service's description
Within the S sector of the graveyard (LF019-030001-), to the S of the church (C of I). All that survives of this 17th-century cross is its limestone collar (H 0.2m; Wth 0.26m; D 0.25), which has been set into a concrete plinth with a modern concrete cross rising from the top of it. The collar is square in section and has three panels on each face. The upper and lower panels are chamfered while the central one is flat. The inscription which is carved in false relief in Roman English capitals runs around all four faces and reads: THIS CR[O]SS WAS/ BVILT BY/ MORGAN/ & ROSE/ FARRELL/PRAY FOR TIRLAG/H [M?][V?][H?][N?][V/]&/[?][?][?]MON/ THE 18/OF7EMBER/1640. (Baxter 1999, 74, 80, no. 104a; Lennon 2006)
