A high cross in Platin, likely of early medieval date, featuring a disc head with a raised ring and double cross design; one face includes the letters "VM," possibly indicating a dedication to the Virgin Mary. Its style suggests a connection to the broader tradition of Irish or Anglo-Saxon high crosses.
