The National Monuments Service's description

Stone cross situated on a small island in an artifical pond, formerly in wet ground, adjacent to the church (TS083-004001-) and holy well (TS083-004002-) of St. Patrick. According to Bagwell (1909, 268) 'as an act of penance or devotion, poor people used to approach it on their knees'. Imperforate ring-headed cross (H 1.15m) composed of sandstone with quartz pebble inclusions. The SW face of the cross is better preserved, though there is no visible evidence of carving. The NE face (Wth 0.53m) has an undulating surface which may represent the remains of very faded carving.
