What is recorded here

This record is for the original location of portion of a cross shaft depicted leaning against a Tau cross (CL016-052002-/CL017-116003-) on a S-facing slope, c. 15m to the S of the Leamaneh to Kilnaboy road. The stone fragment ‘may have formed the bottom of the shaft of the [tau] cross’ (Harbison 2009, 32). The fragment (L 0.48m; Wth 0.28m; T 0.1m) is no longer in situ and is kept in the OPW depot in Athenry under the SMR number GA084-151005-.The upper, decorated portion of the tau cross is currently on display in the old protestant church of Corofin (CL017-116001-), which now serves as an interpretative centre.
