Cross-slab in Cill Éinne

This cross-slab (H 0.9m; Wth 0.26m; T 0.16m) is built into the S end of the front or W face of the altar at the E end of Teaghlach Éinne (GA119-020001-). It bears an outline ringed Latin cross terminating in a roundel above the head. The shaft of the cross is incomplete due to a break in the slab. The slightly expanded open-ended arms extend beyond the ring. (Manning 1985, 117, Fig. 25(a) Slab C; Higgins 1987, vol. 2, 365, no. 87) Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 5 February 2016

This cross-slab likely dates to the early medieval period, associated with Christian worship or memorial practice. Its ringed Latin cross suggests a ecclesiastical or funerary function, possibly linked to the local church or monastic site of Teaghlach Éinne.
