In a hollow on the south-south-eastern bank of a small stream in Cornacullew, County Longford, a small wooden cross and an adjacent earthen mound were recorded as late as 1976. Today, neither can be found.

The cross and mound were documented as part of a cluster of related features, sitting roughly eight metres south-east of a holy well and a holy tree. This kind of grouping is not uncommon in the Irish landscape: a holy well, typically a natural spring associated with a local saint or pre-Christian veneration, would often attract ancillary devotional objects and earthworks over time. The wooden cross here was described as crude in form, which suggests something fashioned locally rather than carved with any formal ecclesiastical intent. Its material, wood rather than stone, partly explains its disappearance; without maintenance, such markers deteriorate within a generation or two. The mound adjacent to it has left equally little trace, its purpose unrecorded and now irrecoverable.

What the 1976 report captured, almost incidentally, was a devotional landscape in its final stages. The well and the tree remain as recorded features, but the cross and mound that once completed this small sacred cluster in the hollow by the stream have slipped away entirely, leaving the site to be understood mainly through what it no longer contains.
