What is recorded here

Within a children’s burial ground (GA111-002005-) to the NE of Teampall Chiaráin (GA111-002001-). This limestone cross-slab (visible H 0.49m; max. Wth 0.43m; shaft Wth 0.33m; T 0.1m), with bosses near the upper ends of both sides, bears a simple single-line Latin cross with forked terminals on the arms and head. A drawing by Higgins (1987, vol. 2, 305, no. 32) indicates that terminal at the base, which is obscured by soil cover, is heart or spike shaped.
