The National Monuments Service's description
Within the graveyard at Kilmore parish church (ME043-042----). The head of a cross (H 0.5m; span 0.43m; T 0.2m), now outside the Roman Catholic church at Moynalvy (ME043 028001 ), c. 2.5km to the NW, is from here. It was discovered in 1837, was subsequently buried, and was rediscovered c. 1966 (Moore 1975, 38-9). It has a Crucifixion in false relief on one face and symbol of the Passion on the other, and can be dated to c. 1575 (King 1984, 108).
