The problem is that nobody has been able to find it. It appears in the record as "not located", which is a quietly deflating phrase for an object that presumably still exists somewhere in the Wicklow landscape, overgrown or overlooked or simply no longer where it was.

The pillar was described by Liam Price in 1940, in what remains one of the foundational accounts of Wicklow's early Christian monuments. A cross carved in low relief onto a standing stone, rather than incised deeply or built as a free-standing sculpture, is a relatively modest form of early medieval marking, the kind of thing that might indicate a boundary, a grave, or a site of local devotion. Granite, the dominant stone of the Wicklow uplands, is hard going for a carver, which makes the presence of any decoration at all worth noting. Whether the pillar was always in Granabeg or was moved at some earlier point, the notes do not say, and without being able to examine it, little more can be established.
