What is recorded here

Situated towards the bottom of a NW-facing slope and within the large enclosure (ME005-036----), c. 10m from the field bank and towland boundary with Tullypole at S. It is marked on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as ‘Stone’. This is an upright pillar stone (dims 0.17m x 0.08m; H 0.5m) which has a simple latin cross carved on one face extending the width of the stone and to within 5cm of its top edge (Hicks 1974, 157).
