What is recorded here

This limestone cross-slab (H 1.08m; Wth 0.22m; H 0.08m) is located at the SE end of a much-ruined leacht (GA050-011003-). It is decorated with a simple grooved Latin cross (H 0.34m; arm span 0.17m). The top of the cross is rounded and the arms end in roughly T-shaped terminals. The base expands slightly (Higgins 1987, vol. II, 281, no. 12). Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 8 August 2016
This cross-inscribed pillar likely dates to the early medieval period, associated with Christian worship or commemoration. Such crosses were often erected at sacred or significant sites, possibly linked to local monastic or burial traditions.
