Formerly leaning upright in the SE corner of an early medieval church (CO010-003004). This small plain Latin cross is cut out of sandstone; the terminals are broken, the angles slightly curved. Described by Crawford (1907, 204) as 'the upper part of a small plain Latin cross, 30 inches long'. According to Windele (Grove White 1905-25, vol. 1, 17), a 'brown stone cross' was resting on the covering stone of the Saint's Tomb, 'St Molaga's Bed' (CO010-003005-) in 1852, but had been 'injured and shortened' since an earlier visit. The cross was noted as present by the National Monuments and Historic Properties Service, Dúchas, in 1995, but reported missing by them in 1997.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
