Cross-inscribed stone in Largan Beg

In a children’s burial ground (MA027-001001-). Aldridge (1969, 86) noted a cross-inscribed stone (MA027-001003-) on a crude stone-built altar (MA027-001002-) at the NNW end of the burial ground. He described it as a 'natural square stone with crude superimposed crosses cut in it’. It was not located during an inspection in 1996.

Probably dating to the early Christian period, the cross-inscribed stone likely served a ritual or commemorative function, possibly associated with burial practices or local Christian devotion. Its placement on an altar suggests it may have been used in ceremonies or as a marker for the children's burial ground.
