What is recorded here

In the corner of a field in flat pastureland. The stump of this partially collapsed and overgrown drystone limestone cross-shaft (D 0.95m; H >0.62m) stands on a pedestal (H 0.2m) and a two-tiered base (Wth 1.3m; max. H 0.7m). The edges of the shaft are chamfered. According to local information, it was used by a local priest for mass after the famine. On the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map, this feature may have been incorrectly named 'Holy Well' (see GA113-023001-).
