Cross-slab in Eoghanacht

This is one of eight cross-slabs (see also GA110-023013- and GA110-023015- to GA110-023020-) associated with Leaba Bhreacáin (GA110-023001-). This example is at the NE corner of the leaba. It is a small rectangular block of stone (H 0.55m; Wth 0.47m; T 0.19m) bearing a cross pattée within a circle (Waddell 1973, 17, no. 4).

Dateable to the early medieval period, likely between the 8th and 11th centuries, the cross-slab may have had a Christian funerary or commemorative function, associated with the nearby Leaba Bhreacáin, a burial site. No specific folklore is recorded for this particular example.
