On top of Bailey Mór mound (MA023-014003-), at a house (MA023-014007-).
Françoise Henry (1951, 67; Pillar 9) found this fragment of a cross-inscribed pillar amongst ‘some stones lying on the ruined side of House B [MA023-014007-]’. She describes it as follows: ‘It is the broken top of another pillar, and bears a very unusual decoration. Just above the section there seems to be a cross potent. Above this is a curved line, and still above it a human face indicated in a few lines.’
