L 1.10m, Wth 0.62m, N-S, H 0.42m) with a cross inscribed on its exposed face. This cross has expanded terminals (H 0.40m, Wth 0.35m, Healy 1961, 125, Price 1959, 165).

It is known as 'Sweep's Cross' (Swords, K. ed.2009, 109). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy Uploaded on: 28 July 2018
