In a modern Catholic church at Corbally. Cross constructed from a single block of stone (H 0.76m; max. Wth. at arms. 0.42m; T 0.14-0.16m) with carvings in relief on both faces, and a short tang (D 0.05m) at the base of the cross. On one side is a depiction of the crucifixion. The carving of the figure of Christ shows simplified facial features and a loin cloth. Nails are shown piercing each hand and a single nail pierces the overlapping feet. Beneath the feet is a skull. On the other side of the cross is a depiction of a ladder, which extends the full length of the cross, and hammer and tongs, which are carved on one arm of the cross. The original location (SL0016-071----) of the cross is said to be in Carrowcardin townland where a church, marked 'R. C. Chapel' is shown on the 1837 OS 6-inch map (Mary Timoney 1989, pers. comm.).
