National Monument in state ownership No. 134. Situated on level ground facing onto the triangle between the Glendalough access road and the road to the Wicklow Gap. An upright slab with a Latin cross in relief on the S face with a small Latin cross in false relief below the left transom. Described by Leask (1950, 41) as an ‘upright slab, 11 inches [0.27m] thick, carved on the south side with a rough Latin cross in relief beside the shaft of which, on the dexter side, is a small sunk cross of the same shape’. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 20 December 2012 See linked document with drawing of cross taken from Robert Cochrane Historical and Descriptive Notes with Ground Plans, Elevations, Sections and Details of the Ecclesiastical Remains at Glendalough, Co. Wicklow. Extract from the Eightieth Annual Report of the Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland 1911-12. Dublin, 1925.
