What is recorded here

In the sacristy of Murrisk Augustinian friary. A fragment of a stone cross bearing a relief carving of the crucified Christ. Only one arm of the cross and a small portion of the shaft survive, exhibiting the left side of Christ’s head with his hair depicted as linear grooves, the upper portion of his torso and his out-stretched left arm, with the individual fingers of the hand delineated, and a small circular-headed nail pierces the palm. The style of the carving suggests that the cross dates to the period late 16th to late 17th century. Attached image: MA087-031003-_01 Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 20 April 2023
