What is recorded here

Cross is a cross (wayside cross) in Aglish (decies Within Drum By.), County Waterford, Ireland. It stands on a level, low-lying landscape about 470 metres north-east of the Goish stream. The surviving octagonal base measures 28 centimetres across and 42 centimetres high, with a 13-centimetre circular hole 6 centimetres deep on top. It is probably the foot of a wayside cross now set inside the graveyard entrance to the north.
Situated on a level, low-lying landscape, c. 470m NE of the SE-NW Goish stream.
