The National Monuments Service's description
Located inside St. Kevin's Church (WI023-009----). Described by Leask (1950, 45, 47) as the 'head of a granite cross (3, Fig. 20) 3 feet 3 inches [1m] wide and high is of the ring or wheel type with a solid recessed ring and small hollows at the intersection of shaft and arms. There are two small concentric circles at the centre and two incised lines form mouldings around the cross and emphasize its outline'.
