What is recorded here
Formerly located within the SE quadrant of an ecclesiastical enclosure (LF013-034001-), this cross-inscribed pillar is now in St Mel’s College (see LF013-034003-) in Longford town (LF013-026----). It comprises a large, rectangular, limestone pillar (H 2.45m; Wth 0.35m; T 0.25m) on which a simple Latin cross is carved in relief. In the angles of the arms of the cross, the stone has been cut away to give a ringed effect. The stem is decorated with a transverse groove.
