Only the rectangular base of a cross survives lying on the surface of the graveyard (WM013-002001-) up against the external E wall of the chancel of Kilpatrick church (WM013-002----). A watercolour drawing of this cross was made in 1864 by George Du Noyer and this drawing is now kept in the library of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland (album ref. no. 9/45/3). The cross including the missing head of the cross was last recorded in 1981 when it was described as following: ‘Immediately outside the east wall [of the church is the rectangular base of a cross with a rectangular socket. The base is of limestone and measures 70cms by 45cms by 25cms deep. The socket measures 22cms by 33cms. Nearby lies the broken head of the cross. The shaft of the cross appears to be missing. The top of the head of the cross is broken off. One side bears a crucifixion while the other bears a pieta with remains of an inscription. Beneath the inscription appears to be C ERALD ROWN’ (SMR file 1982). The head of the cross described in 1981 could not be found during a recent site visit.
