What is recorded here

What is probably the smallest high cross in Ireland (H 0.55m; Wth at crux 0.31m; T 0.14m) is within the graveyard (WX039-018006-) of Kilmokea church site (WX039-018002-). The cross is of sandstone and the head is solid. There is rope-moulding around the edges of both large faces, each with its own cross, and rope-moulding surrounds individual panels that are filled with knot interlace. An inscription, possibly reading NDMNA, is at the top of one large side (Harbison 1992, vol. 1, 131, 363). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 28 January, 2013
