Cross-slab

What is recorded here

This is one of eight cross-slabs (see also GA110-023013- to GA110-023019-) associated with Leaba Bhreacáin (GA110-023001-). It now stands just inside the S kerbing of the leaba but it was formerly located to the S of it (Waddell 1973, 19, no. 10). It is a subrectangular limestone slab (H 0.95m; Wth 0.75m; T 0.14m) bearing a broadly grooved ringed Latin cross with central roundel and circular terminals. (Crawford 1913, 154 (m); Higgins 1987, vol. 2, 366, no. 88) Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 9 March 2016
This cross-slab likely dates to the early medieval period, associated with Christian burial or commemorative practices. Its placement near Leaba Bhreacáin suggests a connection to a burial site or sacred landscape, possibly linked to local saints or early Christian communities.
