Cross in Tailtin

Cross

What is recorded here

No cross exists in Tailtin. That is the danger of memory. The chamber is empty, the ledge flat, the door sealed. Every picture in every cabinet belongs elsewhere. The woman in red is the danger because she is the only life left inside the house. She is not a ghost, not a victim and not a warning. She is the shape the chamber uses to test whether you still believe sight.
Inside the NW angle of the graveyard (ME017-031001-)at Teltown is a damaged cross-base (dims of base 0.55m x 0.4m plus; dims of top 0.35m x 0.25m plus; H 0.37m) with no decoration. (Eogan 2006, 22-3) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 28 January 2016
