The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a gentle E-facing slope. The parish church of Rossminoge (WX011-002001) is within a rectangular graveyard (WX011-002002-) defined by an earthen bank, which has a fosse or ditch (Wth of top 5.5m; D 0.8m) inside it on the SE side. In the SW corner of graveyard is the ringed but unpierced and undecorated head of a large granite high cross (H 0.93m; Wth 0.84m; T c. 0.1m), but one of the arms is missing. It is standing upright in the socket of a granite base (dims 0.56m x 0.4m; H 0.25m plus).
