What is recorded here

A fragment of the head of a ringed cross (H 0.4m; surviving span 0.3m; T 0.12-0.13m), amounting to about a quarter of the whole, was found in the graveyard (ME011-039001-) of Emlagh church site in 2017 and is now taken into care by Meath County Council. It could be from a high cross and has interlace carved on one face of the ring but the panel on the other side has been removed. A crucifixion is depicted on the interlace side, but the representation on the other side is less clear. There is a socket on top and there are rills on the thickness of the ring.

A ringed high cross fragment, likely 9th- to 10th-century in date, was discovered in the graveyard of Emlagh church site in 2017; its style suggests a connection to early Christian monastic traditions in the region.
