Described by Comerford as 'The ruins of the former parochial church (LA030-011001-) of Dysart Gallen still remains. The base of an old cross is to be seen built into a wall in the adjacent roadside. This has been probably removed from its former place in connection with the church' (Comerford 1886, vol. 3, 105). Located at side of public road leading to the village of Ballinakill in upland area, 480m NW of Dysart church (LA030-011001-). Sandstone cross base with rectangular socket (dims. 0.20 x 0.25 x 0.12m) with chamfered surround, situated beside public road in upland area at the base of a holy bush (LA030-047001-) covered in rags which have been tied to the branches of the bush.
