What is recorded here

Caheravart enclosure still holds the Stone Cross, a lean sandstone marker tilting toward the southeast like a person bending to listen. Its narrow shaft and short arms carve a Latin shape no larger than a outstretched arm, yet it stands inside a burial ground where early faith and death were not separated. The cross may have pointed people toward prayer, warning, or memory before words were written nearby.

Located in burial ground (CO102-024004-) and within Caheravart early ecclesiastical enclosure (CO102-024002-). Latin cross carved from sandstone (H c. 1.4; shaft c.0.2m x c. 0.1m: arms extend c. 0.05m on each side), leans heavily to SE. Long axis NE-SW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
