Visit Notes

This cross head is probably part of the same cross that the shaft segment comes from at the nearby monastic settlement (see parent site).

All that remains is a horizontal slice containing the arms of the cross. It is mounted on a low stand quite close to the wall in the southeast corner of the RC graveyard. The west face shows Christ in crucifixion and the reverse shows a figure with a crozier.
