Páirc na Croise, the field of the cross, takes its Irish name from two early Christian stones that once sat within it. One of them has vanished entirely. The other, a plain stone cross, lies loose on a low cairn of stones measuring roughly four metres by five and standing a metre in height, an unremarkable mound that may amount to nothing more than generations of farmers clearing the ground around it.

What the field has lost is the more intriguing object. A large prostrate slab, that is, a flat stone lying face-up on the ground, measured 1.6 metres by 0.76 metres and rested against the field fence. On one face it bore a cross with expanded terminals, meaning the arms of the cross flare outward at their ends, a form commonly associated with early medieval Irish Christian carving. The stone was documented by the antiquarian John Windele in 1848 and again by R.A.S. Macalister in 1899, placing it within a long tradition of scholarly interest in the carved stones of the Corca Dhuibhne peninsula. By the time of the Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey published by J. Cuppage in 1986, it was already recorded as missing, its whereabouts unknown.
