What is recorded here
Not inidcated stands in the southeast corner of a County Kildare graveyard beside a high cross. The low tapering granite slab rises eighty-five centimetres from the earth and carries an incised Latin cross on its east face. It is small enough to overlook, yet firm enough to mark the boundary between forgotten lives and the sky they no longer touch.
In the SE corner of a graveyard (KD029-011004-), beside a high cross (KD029-011007-). A low, erect, earthfast, tapering granite slab (dims. H 0.85m; Wth 0.40-0.50m; T 0.14m) carries an incised Latin cross on its E face. (Corlett 2003, 89, 107 Slab 6)
