Cross in Kilcloony (dunmore By.) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Kilcloony held a thin cruciform stone with stubby arms and a narrow shaft, standing loosely inside a burial ground where the dead had long stopped answering. The cross measured barely half a metre tall, small enough for one person to lift, yet it marked the edge of memory in County Galway. By 2019 it had vanished from the place where it should have stood, leaving only the suggestion that even humble stones can be taken when witness is no longer wanted.

Located within a burial ground (GA016-063001-). Described by Higgins (1987, ii, 392, no. 112) as ‘a thin, plain cruciform-shaped stone with an almost semi-circular top, short stubby arms and a narrow shaft which splays outwards near the bottom.’ The cross (H 0.56m; Wth across the arms 0.21m; Wth at base 0.23m; T 0.05m) was set loosely in the ground in a secondary position. Not located during a site visit in 2019 (FitzPatrick 2019, 28). See also GA016-063004-. Updated by: Olive Alcock Date of revised upload: 7 December 2022
