The cross in Killegar is a small, crude stone cross, likely of early medieval date, associated with the chancel of Killegar Church and possibly linked to a tradition of early Christian cross-slabs in the region. Its style suggests a pre-Norman origin, and it may have been reused or repositioned within the church over time.
