The cross at Rathmichael has a close association with the cross from Kiltuck. This was discovered lying broken beside the Rathmichael cross. Fr. Sherwin a parish priest from Ballybrack was responsible for the removal and repair of this cross.

His objective was to have the Cross erected at the Church of St. Anne in Shankill. He was successful in his endeavours and the cross was dedicated, in 1983,to mark the Golden Jubilee of the church. The only difference between the two is that the Kiltuck one only features the Crucifixion on one face.
