What is recorded here
A stone cross marks the entrance to St. Doolaghs church and graveyard (DU015-009002-). In the late 18th century, when Austin Cooper visited the site, it was located in the graveyard (Price 1942, 70). It has very short arms and a triangular-shaped head (H 1.6m). It is set on a double-stepped pedestal immediately next to the Malahide road.

The stone cross at Saintdoolaghs was likely erected in the late medieval period and may have been associated with the early Christian church dedicated to St. Doolagh. It is a simple high cross style, possibly 9th- to 12th-century in origin, and marks the entrance to a historically significant church site and graveyard.
