What is recorded here

In a graveyard (KD020-009006-). A cross with a crucifixion scene first noted by Hendrick-Aylmer (1902, 381) and presumed missing (Bradley et al. 1986 vol. 4, 432) was subsequently discovered by the Naas Local History Group when undertaking a survey of the graveyard. According to McCabe (2000, 184-198), the top section of a cross of unusual fossiliferous stone, showing on one side, a crucifixion figure and, on the other, a carving of the Blessed Virgin, was found. It may date to the late-14/15th century. (McCabe 2008, 159-60) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
