What is recorded here

In 2011, Ann Frykler and Robert Hanbidge of Headland Archaeology Ltd. found a broken slab in Cinn Aird Thoir that may have once worn a Christian cross, though its original design has vanished into mystery. The fragment still lies in County Kerry, waiting for someone brave enough to imagine the shape it lost. What is certain is that it survived long enough to be measured, described and remembered, even when its own story broke away.

In 2011 a graveyard survey carried out by Ann Frykler and Robert Hanbidge of Headland Archaeology Ltd. recorded the following details about a possible cross-inscribed stone (Miscellaneous No. 13): ‘Broken fragment of an inscribed slab, not clear of what the original design was, possibly part of an early Christian cross inscribed stone, but this is mere speculation’ (Hanbidge 2011, 13).
