What is recorded here

Clonmacnoise cross-slab CLN00128 is a small, badly worn stone, only 0.52 m high and 0.61 m wide, with little left but the upper cross, part of the right arm and a faint outline ring. It has no inscription, and its centre may have been circular, but time has rubbed most of that meaning away. What remains is enough to show that someone once set a marked stone beside another life, and enough for that life to disappear again into the field.

Date likely to the early medieval period (8th–10th century). The ringed cross may signify Christian symbolism, possibly associated with a burial or memorial in the context of an early monastic site.
