What is recorded here

Eighty-eight centimetres of Galway stone still stands eight metres from the Abbey wall, its octagonal shaft and fleur-de-lis arms cutting a lozenge through the centre. Inside the graveyard, that small cross may have marked a burial, a prayer or a warning, while people moved past it in darkness or festival. Its shape remains exact even when its purpose becomes a story told around stone.

This cross (H 0.88m; arm span 0.7m) is standing in the graveyard (GA127-019013-) surrounding the 'Abbey' (GA127-019----) and is c. 8m to the S its S wall. It is cut from a single piece of stone and the top and arms end in expanded fleur-de-lis motifs. A lozenge shape pierces its centre. The shaft is octagonal in plan. The cross sits in an octagonal base which is squared off internally (int. dims. 0.45m N-S; 0.45m E-W). This cross was brought to our attention by Dr Christy Cunniffe.
