What is recorded here

Stone Cross stands five metres west of a holy well in County Galway, its crudely hewn limestone arms reaching barely seventy-five centimetres into the air. The north face carries a desperate 1734 plea for Trinity mercy and angelic prayer, suggesting ordinary people still sought comfort at this spot long after medieval times. A broken cross-slab and window fragment lie nearby, hinting that the site once belonged to a larger building now reduced to grass and memory.

Some 5m to the W of a holy well (GA105-003001-). This small, crudely hewn, equal-armed limestone cross (H 0.75m; T 0.12m; Wth across arms 0.4m) is set in the grassy sward. The arms and head have slightly expanded terminals. The N face bears the following inscription: ‘O BLESSED TRINITY HAVE MERCY ON US HOLY ANGELS PRAY FOR US [?]1734’. A medieval cross-slab (GA105-003002-) and a fragment of a window mullion (GA103-003003-) lie on the ground beside it.
