Cross-slab in Colbinstown likely dates to the early Christian period (5th–10th centuries AD) and may have served a funerary or commemorative function, as suggested by its location in a burial ground. The term "green-flag" may indicate a partially buried or leaning slab, though its specific symbolic meaning remains unclear.
