What is recorded here
Dromavrauka holds five cross-inscribed stones beside All Saint's Well, including one submerged slab bearing a cross and curved decorative line. The cluster marks a holy water place where stone, ritual and memory still touch.
One of five cross-inscribed stones (see KE076-015001-, KE076-015002-, KE076-015004-, KE076-015005-) adjacent to All Saint's Well (KE076-015----). This slab (0.6m x 0.45m), which lies prostrate in the well water, is inscribed with a cross (0.18m x 0.15m; D 0.005m). A downward-curved line with circular terminals decorates the top of the shaft.

Probably dates to the early Christian period (5th–10th century). The cross inscription may indicate a Christian ritual or votive function, possibly linked to the nearby holy well as a site of pilgrimage or healing.
