What is recorded here

One slab remains in Tipperkevin Church, its lower shaft marked by two parallel lines, while the other two vanished after the interior was dug out. The surviving fragment holds the memory of crossed stones, ringed ends and expanded arms now absent from the floor. What was removed may have been discarded, buried or carried elsewhere, but the empty space still points toward the shape once standing there.

In 1985, Healy (SMR file) recorded three cross-slabs in Tipperkevin Church (KD024-020----): 'A' (KD024-020002-) a fine tapered slab of granite (L 1.83m; Wth 0.42-0.53m) with an incised Greek cross with expanded arms. 'B' (KD024-020003-) a large tapered slab of granite slab of granite (L 1.9m; Wth 0.6-0.77m) decorated with a single shaft with ringed cross at each end, in relief. 'C' (KD024-020004-) the lower portions of a granite slab (min. L. 1.04m; max. Wth. 0.42m ), with two parallel incised lines representing the shaft of a cross. Two of the slabs, (KD024-020002- and KD024-020004-) were subsequently published (Healy 2009, 101, 104-5). Only one cross slab (KD024-020004-) was located on a 1986 visit when the interior of the church appeared to have been recently dug out (SMR file).
