What is recorded here

Portion of the decorated shaft of sandstone high cross (H 0.2m; Wth 0.18m; T 0.1m) was discovered in a drain across the children’s burial ground at the early church site (MO008-011----) in 1983. One face has a panel of fretwork but while the opposite face was prepared for carving no pattern was executed; the shorter sides were intended to be plain. It is now in Monaghan County Museum.
