What is recorded here

Marked only on the 1925 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in italic script as 'Stone Crosses'. Two plain Latin crosses and the shaft of a third are situated on a rise in a low-lying landscape and on the E side of the N-S R742 road. They are probably 18th century in date. The most northerly cross is granite (H 0.34m; Wth 0.34m; T 0.16m) and has a shaft 0.2m wide. (Ranson 1948, 98-9) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Two plain Latin crosses in granite and shaft of a third standing by roadside. Probably eighteenth century in date.
