Cross-slab in Clonmacnoise

Cross-slab

What is recorded here

In Clonmacnoise, a broken cross-slab survives as a small loop and side fragment, no taller than a child’s arm reach. It may have marked a grave, a boundary, or a forgotten prayer beside the river. The loop still catches light like a handle waiting for a hand.
