What is recorded here

Cross-slab CLN00133 at Clonmacnoise is a worn limestone boulder bearing an incomplete ring cross, its stem broken away and surface smoothed by time. It stands among other grave markers at one of Ireland’s great monastic sites, where people buried their dead and shaped stone into prayer. The loss of its center does not diminish it; it completes the shape of memory, leaving behind a hollow ring that invites the mind to finish what the chisel abandoned.
