What is recorded here

This cross-slab, known only from Wakeman’s drawing of 1839 (Wakeman 1839a), is missing (Fisher 2014, 224, no. 61, Fig. 7.10). The foot of the slab appeared to have been bevelled to form a tenon. The upper part bore an expansional cross in relief with a large central roundel and four terminals. The outline head and trunk of a human figure, with arms at its sides, was evident below the cross.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
