Cross

Cross, Churchyard cross

What is recorded here

One red stone cross-head still stands at Cross, its ringed disc marking a forgotten church in County Cavan. The crucifixion face points outward like a warning or invitation, while the plain reverse keeps its distance. Whoever set these stones in cement beside the nave wall preserved what memory had nearly released.
The heads of two churchyard crosses with disc-heads and fragments probably belonging to one of them, a Latin churchyard cross with an inscription, and a stone with an inscription are set in cement just S of the N nave wall. This solid-ringed cross-head in a red stone (H 0.6m; span 0.47m; T 0.16m) is rather plain. It has a recessed cross in a circle with a crucifixion on one face. The reverse has a recessed cross in a circle. See the attached views Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 19 March 2020
