The National Monuments Service's description
Also in the church (ME027-003001-) is a disc-headed cross (diam. 0.33m; T 0.12m) with a raised ring, which has a cross on each face formed by four raised arcs springing from the ring. One face has the raised letters VM and IM on the cross, which probably dates to the late 17th century.
