What is recorded here
Cross stands in a graveyard beside an early Church in County Leitrim, Ireland. Its sandstone base still holds a socket for a missing shaft, waiting like a mouth opened for a voice that stopped speaking centuries ago. The angles carry moulding, the top a raised collar, and the whole stubber seems built to remember the weight of what once rose above it.
The base of a high cross, probably from the same cross as the fragments (LE032-008005-; LE032-008003-) is within the graveyard attached to the site of the early Church. It is sandstone (dims of base 0.89m x 0.73m; dims of top 0.62m x 0.49m; H 0.57m), and has moulding around the angles. On top is a raised collar with a socket (dims 0.24m x 0.2m; D 0.17m). (Kelly 1993, 158)
