One of two wayside crosses (see KD014-042---- also) shown on Noble and Keenan's 1752 map of county Kildare, c. 1 mile to the N, on the road from Sherlockstown to Straffan. By the late 19th century, according to Sherlock (1891-95, 40), 'only the bases' remained, 'the larger of the two' having been moved to 'the farmyard at Prospect, nearly opposite the spot on which it formerly stood'. Both bases were subsequently moved to Sherlockstown graveyard (KD014-043003-). A square limestone base (dims. L 1m; Wth 1m; H 0.6m) has a chamferred upper surface and bears a badly worn inscription, of which only the words 'me fecet' are legible. The original location for this monument is designated KD014-028----.
