What is recorded here

The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Fragment of cross discovered in the grounds of St Mary's Church and erected on a concrete base and shaft. All that remains is part of a limestone disc head with one arm. The other arm, the top, the shaft and base are missing. A simple Crucifixion scene with canopy over is on the W face, the other side having a depiction of the Virgin and Child under an ogee-headed canopy. The cross, according to King (1983, 213), probably dates to the sixteenth century. (CLAJ 1943, 203, pl. I; King 1983, 210-14)
