The National Monuments Service's description
Two portions of an eight-sided cross from Moneyhore church site (WX025-043001-) are at a nearby farmyard. One piece (L c. 0.75m) has 8 facets (Wth 12-13cm; L 52-54cm) but is probably unfinished with a roughly square base (38cm x 35cm; H 15-20cm). Another portion built into the wall of an outhouse (L 67cm) has a pyramid stop. Both fragments are probably from the same late medieval cross.
