The National Monuments Service's description
A rectangular, heavily weathered, fragment of limestone (0.44m by 0.40m by 0.24m) built into the N return of the E gable of Cord church (LH024-030001-). The two visible sides are decorated, one side with a head and the other with the pietà (Our Lady's Pity) scene. Thought by King (CLAJ 1984, 334-9) to be part of a market cross (LH024-030004-) and could be of late medieval date.
