Cross-inscribed stone in Bray

Cross-inscribed stone

What is recorded here

One example is stone F in the SW wall, close to the W angle. It measures .4m x .18m and carries a deeply pocked cross with expanded terminals, while faint traces of an enclosing circle still appear on its surface. The marks are rough but deliberate, suggesting the wall was made to be seen and remembered rather than merely closed.
Part of a group of five huts located about 80m ESE of KE087-022----. A carefully built drystone hut incorporating a series of twelve decorated stones. The motifs consist mainly of rough, equal-armed crosses, and display varying degrees of weathering. Stone F: KE087-023007-;In the SW wall, close to the W angle. An irregularly shaped stone, .4m x .18m, featuring a rather deeply pocked cross with expanded terminals. Faint traces of an enclosing circle survive. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 1137. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 31 July 2013
