What is recorded here

Situated at W end of field close to boundary with roadway Field is reputedly site of an ancient church (CV042-001001-). Badly weathered wayside cross (H c. 1m) with right arm broken off. Davies (1948, 97) described it as 'an unperforated ringed cross', 0.83m across the arms, the shaft being 0.33m x 0.20m. Furthermore he noted that it was inscribed in raised letters with the name Newell and the date 1626. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
