In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Two cross-inscribed stones are situated on top of a high roadside verge between Ardee and Dunleer. One consists of a flat-surfaced stone c. 0.6m high with a small plain cross carved within a circle at its bottom right-hand side. The other (LH017-089002-), which had once been removed to a nearby shop, consists of an irregular slab (0.5m by 0.45m by 0.11m) except for one straight edge. It has a simple inscribed Latin cross and circle which occupy most of its uneven surface. The circle cuts across the arms of the cross which extend outwards and have T-shaped terminals.
