What is recorded here

No cross survives, only a worn slab bearing DAIGREI and a lost final letter. Petrie drew it in 1822 when more of its surface remained visible, but time has erased the rest. The name still touches the stone even though the shape that gave it meaning has disappeared.

Date likely to the early medieval period, given the context of Clonmacnoise and the partial inscription. The inscription 'DAIGREI…' may be a personal name, suggesting a funerary or commemorative function.
