The National Monuments Service's description
The head of a latin cross (H 0.58m; span 0.66m; T 0.14m) with slightly flaring terminals had been buried just outside the S doorway of Arodstown church (ME043-015----), but it was moved from the graveyard c. 1960 and is now outside the Roman Catholic church of St Mary’s at Moynalvy (ME043-028----), c. 1.6km to the S (Moore 1975, 46-7). It can be dated to the later 19th century (King 1984, 104-05).
