Cross

What is recorded here

Cross in Clonmore North (Caher parish), clonmore South (Caher parish) is a cross in Clonmore North (Caher parish), clonmore South (Caher parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. Power (1908, 24) described Cill Ghobnait, Gobinet's Church, as a little known early church site on the farm of Pat Mullany. Close by the church, a round dressed conglomerate block measured four feet [1.2m] in diameter and about a foot [0.3m] thick stood inserted in a fence. It may have been a millstone, but it is more probably the plinth of an ancient cross, with one smooth face, one rough face, a central hole 41/2" [0.11m] in diameter carried right through, and two small depressions near the edge on the smooth face.
