Carved limestone high cross, erected c.1960. Cross has panels of interlace to front and north faces, moulded base and stands atop limestone pedestal having moulded cornice, stepped base and inscriptions to front and north faces, front in Irish and recent to north face in English. Cross and pedestal stands atop concrete plinth with knotwork decoration and carved inscriptions on the northern and eastern elevations.

This monument stands on an elevated site at the town end of the road to the harbour and is therefore a feature of interest. It is an important historical reminder of the country's troubled past.
