Cross - Wayside cross (present location)

The National Monuments Service's description

One of three wayside crosses (WM020-135002-) of which only one (WM020-135----) is in its original location. The original location of this cross is marked on the first and current editions of the OS 6-inch map in the square at the top of Killucan village. The cross was moved from the village to its current location. Described in 1976 as 'Darcy 1604 with Latin inscription, shaft grooved and now dislodged and broken. Squared base.' (ASI Survey files 1976). A second report from 1998 described this cross as 'A cross shaft consisting of two stones, inserted in a boulder, which may be the original base, but cannot be certain. The lower stone (H 0.58m ; 0.27m x 0.27m) is grooved along the edges vertically. The stone cement bonded to the top of the lower stone is square sectioned (H 0.43m; Wth 0.26m ; T 0.26m) . On the top of the surface of this stone is a coating of copper with fragment of slate embedded, and there is an iron pin (dims. 0.08m; H 0.02m) projecting upwards. No trace of the inscription described in 1976 can now be deciphered.' (ASI Survey file 1998). This cross commemorates Arthur Darcy and his wife who died in 1604.
