What is recorded here
A low limestone block with a hexagonal shaft fragment stands on a grassy mound near Clane, said to mark a former burial ground. The Chamfered edges and sturdy socket suggest a tall cross once rose there, watching over the dead and directing the living through gentle pastureland.
