What is recorded here

Castleboy is a limestone cross inside the Hill of Tara church, perhaps rescued from a medieval parish church before it fell. One arm is missing, but the remaining arm still carries a marigold, as if someone kept feeding the stone with colour and life.

Inside the church on the Hill of Tara is a limestone cross (H 0.31m; span 0.22m plus), which may have been a finial cross from the medieval parish church (ME031-033071-). It is missing one arm, and has octagonal cross-sections to the stem (dims 14cm x 8cm) and arm (dims 8cm x 8cm). It is decorated with a marigold at the end of its surviving arm.
