In pastureland, to the SE of a stream. Shown on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map as being located to the SW of two holy wells (GA098-068002- and GA098-068003-); a third holy well (GA098-068001-) lay to its W. Described in the OS Letters (O’Flanagan 1927, Vol. 2, 80) as ‘a cross and a heap of stones near [the holy wells] at which the pilgrims pray’. Evidently removed by the time of the 1933 edition of the map when the words ‘Site of’ were appended. Apart from a moss-covered pile of stones, no visible surface trace survives.
