What is recorded here

An almost complete cross-slab (RO056-007003-) and fragments of nine others are displayed in the graveyard, but three recorded slabs are not present. This lost slab was described (Crawford, 1913, 160, c) as '11 by 5.5 inches (c. 28cm x 14cm) showing the corner of a square panel contining an encircled cross or four-pointed star formed of circular arcs.'

Probably dating to the early medieval period (5th–11th century), the cross-slab likely served a Christian funerary or commemorative function, reflecting the spread of Christianity in the region. Such stones often carried religious symbols or inscriptions, though their specific folklore or dedications are rarely recorded.
