Cross-slab in Drumacoo

This cross-slab was found in the graveyard (GA103-118003-) surrounding the church (GA103-118001-) at the monastic complex at Drumacoo. It comprises a subrectangular limestone slab (H 0.55m; Wth 0.37m; T 0.13m) that bears a grooved single-line Latin cross on one face. The head and arms end in T-shaped terminals and the base is subrectangular in plan (Higgins 1987, vol. II, 286, no. 17).

This cross-slab likely dates to the early medieval period (7th–10th century) and may have served a Christian commemorative or liturgical function within the monastic complex.
