The National Monuments Service's description
A fragment of the head of a cross that was recorded in 1939 at Donagh graveyard (MO007-007004-) (Paterson, Gaffikin & Davies 1939, 28) is now housed in the Monaghan County Museum (accession no. 2002:4). The fragment is from a perforated ringed cross (surviving H c. 0.6m; surviving span c. 0.33m; T c. 6cm) and is carved on one side with a crucifixion and two incomplete figures. The reverse has some crudely-fashioned bosses (ibid.).
