Cross-slab in Eoghanacht

Cross-slab

What is recorded here

This is one of eight cross-slabs (see also GA110-023013- to GA110-023018- and GA110-023020-) associated with Leaba Bhreacáin (GA110-023001-). This example, which is c. 1.5m to the S of the leaba, is a subrectangular slab (H 1.12m; Wth 0.5m; T 0.1m) bearing a broadly grooved Latin cross with three circular terminals (Waddell 1973, 19, no. 9). (Crawford 1913, 154 (k); Higgins 1987, vol. 2, 311, no. 37) Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 9 March 2016
This cross-slab likely dates to the early medieval period, associated with Christian burial practices or commemorative markers. Its proximity to Leaba Bhreacáin suggests a possible connection to a burial site or sacred landscape, though specific folklore or detailed use remains unrecorded.
