What is recorded here
Clonmacnoise cross-slab CLN00370 is a small stone fragment, twenty-four centimetres tall, holding a broken triple outline interlace cross but no name or date. It may have marked an ordinary person buried beside the great monastery, yet time has taken the identity and left only the knotwork. The missing parts make the cross both complete and absent, a little of faith preserved through loss.
