Situated to the E of the R115 and a small gravel pit on Glassmucky Mountain. A roadside granite boulder set on its long axis (dims. L 1.10m, Wth 0.62m, N-S, H 0.42m) with a cross inscribed on its exposed face. This cross has expanded terminals (H 0.40m, Wth 0.35m, Healy 1961, 125, Price 1959, 165). There is a local tradition that it marks the spot where the body of a chimney sweep was found who had been caught in a snowstorm and had frozen to death. It is known as 'Sweep's Cross' (Swords, K. ed.2009, 109).
