What is recorded here

Some 5m to the W of a holy well (GA105-003001-). This small, crudely hewn, equal-armed limestone cross (H 0.75m; T 0.12m; Wth across arms 0.4m) is set in the grassy sward. The arms and head have slightly expanded terminals. The N face bears the following inscription: ‘O BLESSED TRINITY HAVE MERCY ON US HOLY ANGELS PRAY FOR US [?]1734’. A medieval cross-slab (GA105-003002-) and a fragment of a window mullion (GA103-003003-) lie on the ground beside it.
