What is recorded here

Around 1980 a cross-slab (max. dims 0.72m x 0.48m; T 0.1m) that was found in the graveyard was moved to the sacristy of the Roman Catholic church of the Sacred Heart at Mullaghey (ME017-053----), c. 1.25km to the SE, for safe-keeping. It has expanded square terminals, a ring and hollow angles. Over the cross is the inscription: ÓR DO ANAM CHAID. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 14 June 2018

Dateable to the early medieval period, the cross-slab likely served a Christian funerary or commemorative function, reflecting the spread of Christianity in the region. Its relocation suggests ongoing local reverence for the site or its historical associations.
