What is recorded here

Located in a slight col on a N-S spur, and on the W road bank of a NNW-SSE road. It was described as the stone cross of Ballie Lis in the Civil Survey (1654-56) where it was a marker for the boundary of Gorey Barony and Killinhugh parish (Simington 1953, 3, 5). This is the head of a square-cut (dims. 22cm x 21cm) granite cross of Latin type protruding through road fence (visible H 0.6m; spread of arms 0.7m). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 1 February 2012
