Cross-inscribed stone

What is recorded here

Cross-slab fragment of limestone (dims. L 0.49m; Wth 0.29-0.34m; T 0.07m) bearing an incised narrow-shafted cross on steps, with three discs on the shaft. (Bradley et al. 1986, vol. 2, 104) Date of upload: 8 September 2016
Likely dating to the early medieval period (7th–10th century), the stone features a narrow-shafted cross, a common Christian symbol from the Insular tradition. The three discs on the cross shaft may represent theological or symbolic elements, though their specific meaning remains uncertain.
