Cross in Cill Charthaigh

Cross

What is recorded here

Half a cross stands buried under a tomb stone in the southwest corner of a Donegal church, its shallow socket waiting for a timber arm that time removed. The angular base survives beneath marble and memory, marking the exact spot where vertical prayer once rose before burial and rebuilds smoothed the room around it.
Located within a church (DG096-010005-). This monument is embedded in the ground beneath a table tomb in the SW corner of the church. It is the base of a cross, consisting of a rectangular stone (max. exposed dims. c. 0.35m x c. 0.16m) with splayed sides, with a straight-sided, flat-bottomed socket (0.17m x 012, D 0.8m) cut into its upper surface.
