What is recorded here

The east cross is also known as the unfinished cross. The top of the cross and the top of its ring are missing, but it stands (H 3.1m; Wth 2.2m) on a pyramidal base (dims at base 1.65m x 1.65m; H 0.71m). The shaft (dims 0.75m x 0.45m) has raised uncut panels. The only carvings are a crucifixion and the women at the tomb on the E face, and some interlace. (Harbison 1992, vol. 1, 111-2) See the attached image of its E face. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 2 July, 2014
