H 0.6m; Wth 0.37-0.45m; T 0.2m) carries an incised Latin cross with expanded terminals. (Corlett 2003, 99-100) Compiled by: Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy and Matt Kelleher Date of upload: 13 December 2012
Probably dating to the early medieval period (5th–10th century), the cross-inscribed stone likely served as a Christian memorial or waymarker. Such stones are often associated with early church sites and may reflect local Christianization or burial practices.
