What is recorded here

Situated on a steep NE-facing slope down to the River Boyne with a NW-SE section of the stream c. 200m distant. A cross-base (dims of top 0.58m x 0.51m) with a raised rim around the socket (dims 0.38m x 0.23m; D 0.23m) is almost completely buried c. 10m S of the E end of Fennor church (ME019-035----) within the rectangular graveyard (ME019-035001-). The fragment of a high cross (Wth 0.6m; H 0.56m; T 0.24m) that came to light in Fennor graveyard in 1991 may have related to the cross-base, and it is now displayed at the W end of the Roman Catholic church in Slane (ME019-025001-). The original W face has a crucifixion while the E has perhaps six bosses in an interlace pattern (Harbison 1990-91, 138-42). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 15 December , 2014
