What is recorded here

An unsteady stone cross stands in Sceilg Mhichíl, its rounded head and broken arm barely visible beneath moss and time. It may have marked a grave, a boundary, or a warning, but that much has been lost. What remains is a small sharp shape in the earth, waiting for someone to remember why it was set there.

Cross described in 1996 as follows; 'This rough slab stands on the Monks' Graveyard [KE104A001046-] and may be a defaced stone cross. H: 0.45m. W: 0.2m. T: 0.06m' (O'Sullivan and Sheehan 1996, 289, no. 948 (59)). The possible cross features a rounded head and a damaged, slightly projecting arm. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 948. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Revised by: Caimin O'Brien Date of revised upload: 10 March 2022
