What is recorded here
Cross is a cross (churchyard cross, present location) in Moneyhore, County Wexford, Ireland. Two portions of an eight-sided cross from the Moneyhore church site survive at a nearby farmyard, both probably originating from a single late medieval monument. One fragment, approximately 0.75 metres long, features eight facets with a roughly square base that is probably unfinished. The second portion, measuring 67 centimetres in length and fitted with a pyramid stop, is built into the wall of an outhouse.

One piece (L c. 0.75m) has 8 facets (Wth 12-13cm; L 52-54cm) but is probably unfinished with a roughly square base (38cm x 35cm; H 15-20cm).
