Within a graveyard (CL009-059024-) to the S of a medieval church (CL009-059023-) and to the W of a chapel (CL009-059027-). Noted by Westropp (1909, 25) a ‘curious Celtic cross’. Harbison (1992, vol. 1, 158) describes it as a ringed limestone cross (H above ground 1.18m; arm Wth 0.67m; T 0.1m) with traces of roll mouldings at the edges. The ring segments do not form a perfect circle and the armpits are small and rounded. Traces of a circular decoration at the centre of the head on the W face may have borne interlace decoration. There is another set of circles beneath it. The E face appears to be undecorated. The shaft of the cross is set in a hole in a raised slab of limestone, which forms the top of a leacht (CL009-059120-). The cross probably dates to the 12th or early 13th century (ibid.).
