What is recorded here

Cross Kerrill is a plain limestone base with a square socket, waiting beside a Galway road for a cross that no longer exists. It sits near an old abbey, suggesting the lost upright marked prayer, procession, or boundary for a community whose wider church has faded from sight. The socket does not claim much, yet it preserves the shape of what stood there: a vertical presence tall enough to be seen from a distance and important enough to anchor in stone.

On N side of road, 135m SSE of an 'abbey' (GA072-014001-). All that survives of this cross is the base consisting of a plain square block of cut limestone (Wth 0.59m) with a square socket (Wth 0.24m) in its centre. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
