The National Monuments Service's description
Two fragments of what may be a churchyard cross with a square cross-section (dims L 0.57m; 0.4m; 0.2m x 0.21m: total L 0.9m) have been identified and recorded by Mary B. Timoney and Martin A. Timoney within the graveyard (RO038-033002-) of Kilbegnet church site. It has at least two sets of pyramidal stops on the chamfered edges, and the remains of the square head has a panel with the date 1632 beneath the initials OS in false relief.
