What is recorded here
At the S side of an NW-SE public road in a flat-bottomed SW-NE valley which opens out to a bog at N. Called the Cross of Cairbre Crom by J. O'Donovan in the 1830s (O'Flanagan 1931, vol. 1, 24-5), it may have been a wayside cross beside a togher connecting Clonburren (RO056-007001-) with a higher ridge to the W at Faltia. A single limestone piece with an octagonal cross-section (dims 0.3m x 0.3m; L 0.8m) has an unserviceable circular tennon at one end. A further portion (RO056-007005-) is now at Clonburren church (RO056-007001-). (Crawford 1907, 217)
