What is recorded here

The holy well of Ogulla (RO022-106003-) is overlooked by a large tree where the head of a high cross (Harbison 1992, vol. 1, 185; Kelly 1993, 154-6), now in NMI but replaced by a replica (Kelly 1994), is kept. It consists of the crux (dims c 0.8m x 0.8m; T 0.3m) with a large boss on one face and a plainly-carved head on the other.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record RO022-106005
