This tall cross-inscribed pillar (H 2.47m; Wth 0.32m at top; T 0.11m) is incorporated into a field boundary c. 14m to the W of Teampall Chiaráin (GA111-002001-). The top of the pillar is rounded off and its E face bears two crosses, one placed above the other. The upper cross is a single-line Latin cross with semicircular terminals and a central roundel. The lower cross is a two-line Latin cross with terminals similar to those on the upper cross at its top and base. There is also a central roundel. Between the two crosses another feature is defined by two parallel lines with a pair of projecting leaf-shaped terminals at both ends.
