What is recorded here
To the NE of Teampall Chiaráin (GA111-002001-). This tall limestone pillar (H 1.86m; max. Wth 0.46m; max. T 0.18m), with bosses on its top and on both sides, bears a two-line double-armed Latin cross on its E face. The arms of the upper cross appear to have had plain closed ends but those on the lower one are open ended. A simple quatrefoil is visible at the junction of the arms and shaft of both crosses. (Wakeman 1891, 354; Crawford 1907, 212(7); 1913, 155(c); O’Flanagan 1927, vol. 3, 369 and facing p. 200 (4); Higgins 1987, vol. 2, 331, no. 57)
