Cross-inscribed stone in Sevenchurches OR Camaderry

Located 24.1m SSW of the round tower (WI023-008002-) - look for the modern headstone, 'Edward Magee 1912 - 1993', the slab stands 1.5m to the S of this headstone. This slab was not previously recorded. A low, roughly dressed, earthfast and erect, thin granite slab, with rounded top (max. H 0.5m; Wth 0.54m; T 0.03-0.07m) carry's a small but deeply incised (1cm) Latin cross on its E-face (H 0.09m; Wth 0.06m) with a deeply incised horizontal line ending in T-shaped terminals just below (like an 'I', but horizontal). These features are above a deeply incised hemispherical depression (Wth 0.10m) (like a 'D' rotated anti-clockwise), which itself is above a crude rectangular hole in the slab (H0.09m; Wth 0.045m). The hemispherical depression and horizontal line might be the initials D I / I D sideways? Date of upload: 10 October 2012

Likely dating to the early Christian period, the cross-inscribed stone may have served as a memorial or waymarker, reflecting the spread of Christianity in the region. Such stones often carried religious or territorial significance and may be associated with nearby ecclesiastical sites like the round tower.
