Cross in Killarga

Cross

What is recorded here

Killarga holds a reused church lintel stood upright at the base of a sun-warmed slope, topped by a sandstone ring cross inside the enclosure of St Mary's holy well. The stones may have watched prayers, storms and forgotten ceremonies before being carried from the old church nearby. They still point upward, not toward grandeur but toward the patience of places that keep being loved.
Situated at the base of a S-facing slope and within the enclosure of St Mary's holy well (LE015-105001-). An upright slab (H 1.2m; Wth 0.4m; T 0.15m) fashioned into a rough cross, probably from a cut-stone window lintel, is surmounted by a sandstone finial cross with a solid ring head (LE015-105003-). Both features are possibly from the old church at Killarga (LE015-103001-), c. 350m to the NW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 15 September, 2016
