What is recorded here

This is the present location of the cross-inscribed stone from Cloghinch, Co. Tipperary (TN027-166002-). It was found adjacent to a bullaun stone (TN027-166001). Formerly located in Moanaha Glen, immediately S of Nenagh River. The cross-inscribed stone is described as a cross-slab, irregular in shape but roughly triangular in cross-section. On one face, there is a roughly equal-armed Greek cross enclosed in a double circle. The ends of the cross are expanded as T-shaped terminals. Outside the double circle the remains of an inscription are pecked on the surface of the stone. They read 'NLAD'. Before the 'N' there are faint indications of another letter but it is not possible to state with certainty what it may have been, though it may have been an 'A''.
