Cross in Brittas

Cross

What is recorded here

Brittas Cross stands halfway out of the ground in the middle of an old rath, its shallow disc head no taller than a child’s knee. A cross inside a circle is cut on one face, the vertical line doubled as if the carver hesitated or emphasised. The stone is crude, small and unshowy, yet it marks the heart of a place people once shaped around belief.
Set upright in the centre of the rath (ME005-089----) is a crudely made stone cross with a disc head (H 0.47m; span 0.0.37m). It has a cross in a circle inscribed with in single lines on one side, but with a double vertical line. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 15 April, 2015
