The National Monuments Service's description
A small fragment of a churchyard cross (dims 0.37m x 0.21m; H 0.13m plus) with two rounded socket-holes in its upper surface has been identified by Gary Dempsey as a fragment of a churchyard cross, similar to that at Crucietown (ME005-094004-). The piece is from close to the base of the cross and on one side the two crossed feet of the Saviour with a diamond-shaped nail-head can be seen in false relief. It is probably late sixteenth or early seventeenth century in date.
