Cross-inscribed stone in Dalkey

Situated on the S side of Castle Street in the ground floor of Archibold's castle (DU023-023014-). A cross-inscribed slab re-used as a lintel in the construction of Archibold's castle. The decoration comprises an incised latin cross. The shaft of the cross runs with the longer axis of the slab. The decoration is partially hidden in the construction. The slab tapers towards the cross-base indicating that it was a re-used grave slab probably from St. Begnet's (Mason 1983, 143, Swords, K. ed 2009, 105).
