Cross

This fragment of a high cross was found immediately outside the E gable of Teaghlach Éinne (GA119-020001-) during the course of an archaeological excavation in 1985. It comprises a damaged limestone cross head (>0.52m across arms, H 0.5m) with deep cusps and ring. A crucifixion scene appears on one face and the other is decorated with knotwork (Manning 1985, 118-19, Fig. 29 (b), Fig. 32 (a) and (b)). (See GA119-020012- for its original location.)
