What is recorded here

Cross is an unfinished high cross in County Meath, Ireland. Its missing top and bare uncut panels suggest a craftsman stopped before completing the work, leaving only a crucifixion, women at the tomb and some interlace on the east face. The sudden gap in the stone turns the monument into a record of interruption rather than finished belief.

The east cross is also known as the unfinished cross. The top of the cross and the top of its ring are missing, but it stands (H 3.1m; Wth 2.2m) on a pyramidal base (dims at base 1.65m x 1.65m; H 0.71m). The shaft (dims 0.75m x 0.45m) has raised uncut panels. The only carvings are a crucifixion and the women at the tomb on the E face, and some interlace.
