Cross-inscribed stone

What is recorded here

Situated to the E of a river valley and the N81. A block of stone with a cross-inscribed formerly stood near the well known as 'Toberna gcluas' (DU024-012001-, Ua Broin 1957, 45). This was cleared away when the modern sanitorium was erected. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy Revised upload on: 6 July 2018
Likely dating to the early medieval period, the cross-inscribed stone may have served a Christian ritual or commemorative function, possibly associated with the nearby well. No specific folklore is recorded for the site.
