What is recorded here
Kinneigh Church in County Carlow still stands in ruin beside a graveyard and a small narrow cross base socketed north of the west gable. The church likely served as a local worship and burial place before decay took it, while the cross marked sacred ground or commemorated someone now forgotten. People may have prayed at the cross, buried their dead beside the church, and passed the place down as a familiar landmark before ruin changed its shape.
Associated with Kinneigh Church (CW003-005001-). Small, narrow socketed cross base N of W gable of the church.
