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)
