What is recorded here

Three cross-slabs remain near the Smarmore church, but this one stands alone east of the wall, a small rectangular stone seventy-five centimetres tall. A simple Latin cross with expanding terminals is incised across its face, marking the place without claiming more than the cut stone can prove.

The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
