What is recorded here

Situated in the NW corner of the graveyard (WX041-008012-) associated with the present St. Munna’s Church of Ireland church that is probably on the site of the medieval parish church (WX041-007016-). The head of a granite cross is set on one of its side-arms in what was probably its original granite base, but it is unlikely that this is the original position of the cross. The head (H 1.41m; Wth 1.36m; T 0.22m) has a solid ring with a moulding around the edges of both faces and it is decorated with five simple bosses on each side. The base (dims of bottom 1.36m x 1.2m; dims of top 1.07m x 0.92m; H 1.18m) has a ringless cross in false relief with one central boss and expanded terminals on the arms on one of the larger panels but is otherwise plain. (Harbison 1992, vol. 1, 168) 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 20 March, 2013
