What is recorded here

Recorded by Fitzgerald (1891-5, 205); 'In the possession of Dr. J. M. Neale, of Newington House, near Feighcullen, is the cap or top-stone, of granite, of a Celtic cross; it is shaped like the gable ends and roof of a house; the two gable-ends are plain, but the roof is cut into squares as imitation of slates or tiles, alternately, six in one row, and seven in the next. Its measurements are, 15 in. (0.38m) in height, 14 in. (c.0.35m) in length at the base; and 12 in. (c.0.3m) at the top; in depth at the base, 9.5 inches (c.0.24m). There is a socket underneath 5.5 (0.14m) in by 4 (0.10m). It is not known where this cross-cap was brought from.' (Crawford 1907, 237) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
