What is recorded here
Sheephouse holds a small disc-headed cross, half a metre tall, with a raised mark inside a solid ring on one face and nothing at all on the other. It stood in Donore graveyard in 1968, vanished by 1984, and may still be locked inside the watch house. The plain side is not emptiness; it is the part the cross stopped explaining.
The head and part of the shaft of a disc-headed cross (H c. 0.5m) were in Donore graveyard (ME020-011001-)in 1968. One side is plain and the other has a raised cross in a solid ring, a cap and blank panelling. It was not present in 1984, but it might be inside the locked watch house.
