What is recorded here

Cross is a termon cross at Tarmon in County Galway, Ireland. It marked the southern limit of Kilmacduagh church lands. Fahey called it a rude stone cross that stood until recently. The cross may have shown where sacred land began and ordinary land ended. People could have touched it, passed it or remembered it during festivals. Its stones may have scattered when the boundary stopped mattering.

Fahey (1893, 139) recorded a cross at 'the village of Cranna', which was similar to one (see GA128-084----) in the 'village of Tarmon'. He described the latter cross as 'a rude stone cross', which 'stood until recently'; it marked the S limit of the church lands of Kilmacduagh. On inspection neither of the crosses were located. Possibly termon crosses. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 17 February 2023 Fahey, J.A. 1893 (Reprint 1986) The history and antiquities of the diocese of Kilmacduagh. Galway. Kenny Gallery.
