What is recorded here
Killinny East holds a limestone cross carved with a hollowed-out shape and central boss, standing within the graveyard attached to Killinny Church. Its arms reach almost equally far, ending in expanded terminals that catch light like hands opening. The stone is small enough to touch, yet heavy enough to stop a person mid-sentence. It may have marked a burial, a prayer or a warning, but it still points upward without asking permission.
Within the graveyard (GA122-101005-) associated with Killinny Church (GA122-101004-). This cruciform limestone slab (H 0.6m; arm span 0.52m; Wth of shaft 0.38m; T 0.08m) bears a hollowed-out almost equal-armed cross with expanded terminals and a central boss in false relief on its E face.
