Date likely to the early medieval period, possibly 8th to 10th century AD, given the cross-slabs found in the Clonmacnoise area are typically associated with monastic sites of that era. The lozenge-shaped arms and central motif may symbolize Christian iconography or have earlier pagan influences, though specific meaning or folklore is not recorded.
