A 9th- to 10th-century Christian cross-slab, likely used as a grave marker or commemorative monument, featuring a central linear cross and four smaller crosses; such stones are commonly associated with early monastic sites like Clonmacnoise. The offset central cross may reflect stylistic variation or symbolic emphasis in early Irish Christian art.
