Located at a holy well (MA103-003001-) known as St. Patrick’s Well. This stone cross stands upright on a low stony rise that curves around the N side of the well. The cross (H 0.64m; Wth across arms 0.29m) is rather crudely shaped with short stubby arms that protrude no more than a few centimeters from the shaft (Wth 0.19m; T 0.12m). The top of the shaft rises 0.08m above the arms. The cross leans to NE.
