Cross

Cross, Churchyard cross

What is recorded here

In the northeast corner of Skreen church graveyard, a plain stone cross rises four feet with short arms and a worn crucifixion on its west face. It may date from the 16th or 17th century, old enough to have watched generations bury their dead beside it. Its small size and sharp edges suggest it was made for a particular person or promise, not a grand display.
There is a simple cross (H 1.5m; span 0.4m) with a rectangular cross-section (dims 0.28m x 0.16m) in the NE corner of the graveyard of Skreen church (ME032-047003-). The arms are short (L 0.06m) and there is a worn crucifixion in relief on the W side. The cross is probably 16th or 17th century in date.
