What is recorded here

Kilmacnevan monastic site placed on the Register of Historic Monuments in 1989. Extract from Iris Oifigiúil 25th April 1989. Possible base and ringed head of a high cross standing in S quadrant of graveyard (WM011-115001-) which contains the ruins of Kilmacnevan Church (WM011-015---) both of which are enclosed by an Early Christian ecclesiastical enclosure (WM011-115002-). Lying on the surface of the graveyard is the head of a ringed cross of possible 10th-11th century date. Nearby is a circular stone with a hole in the centre, probably a base for this cross. See attached plan of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 28 August 2017

The high cross in Kilmacnevan was likely erected in the 9th or 10th century by a monastic community associated with the site. It is of typical Irish high cross style, possibly Christian in dedication, and is significant as a remnant of early medieval monastic activity in the area.
