Cross-slab in An Seanchnoc (dún Cíaráin Theas)

This cross-inscribed slab is located in rough upland pasture on the W spur of Beenrour mountain, overlooking Ballinskelligs Bay to W. It inclines very heavily to E and, if upright, would stand .55m high; it measures .26m x .07m at base. Its NE face features a single-line Latin cross with inturned T-bar terminals. The above description is derived from O'Sullivan, A. and Sheehan, J. (compilers) 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University press. (1996), no. 968. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 13 June 2013

This cross-slab likely dates to the early medieval period, associated with Christian symbolism and possibly used as a marker or memorial. Its position overlooking the bay may reflect a connection to local pilgrimage routes or territorial boundaries.
