What is recorded here
Situated on top of a drumlin and c. just SW of a road from Cloone to Ballinamuck, Co. Longfort. A sandstone slab (dims 0.34 x 0.12m; H 0.78m) aligned N-S has a latin cross (H 0.34m; span 0.2m) in false relief with expanded terminals on its E face. The arms of the cross are deeply cut (Wth 5cm; D 1.5cm), and field stones are gathered around the base of the slab. It may be 17th or 18th-century in date. It is also thought to have been a mass-rock (IFC: Schools’ Collection, vol. 0222, 523-4, 569; Ó Cléirigh and Kelleher 1991, 134).
