What is recorded here

Pedestal of Cross is a granite base lying upside down in a County Carlow graveyard. A secondary socket marks its upper surface, suggesting the cross stood elsewhere before falling or moving. The inverted position transforms a religious marker into a buried timestamp, preserving the moment it stopped pointing upward.
The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Granite cross base lying upside down in graveyard (H 0.63m; 0.78m x 0.63m). Secondary socket in present upper surface. (Bradley 1989, 45).
