What is recorded here

Killarga is a cross at the base of a south-facing slope inside the enclosure of St Mary's holy well in County Leitrim. A rough upright slab, likely a repurposed window lintel, supports a small sandstone finial cross with a solid ring head. Both stones may have come from the old church at Killarga, about 350 metres to the northwest, carrying fragments of a lost building into a place still used for prayer.
Situated at the base of a S-facing slope and within the enclosure of St Mary's holy well (LE015-105001-). An upright slab (LE015-105002-) fashioned into a rough cross, probably from a cut-stone window lintel, is surmounted by a sandstone finial cross (H 0.35m; Span 0.28m; T 0.16m) with a solid ring head (diam. 0.2m). 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
