Marked 'The White Cross' on the 1835 and 1911 'OS 6-inch' maps. A small wayside cross (H 0.77m, Wth 0.27m, T 0.18m) resting on a square base which in turn is set into a modern concrete plinth. It bears the inscription 'Pray for the soul of Mr. George Taaffe, who departed this life 10th March Anuis Domini 1723'. A large heart is engraved on the front lower part of the shaft and a linear ornament on its upper part. A triangle is inscribed on its back. (ASI field notes, 1966)
