What is recorded here

Breakage and repair are written across the stone. The diagonal crack still cuts the limestone, marking the moment it split and the later hands that joined it again. The Latin cross reaches the edge without hesitation, while faint traces in the lower panel suggest a name or decoration that time has almost erased.

In the graveyard associated with the Franciscan friary (GA125-058). This subrectangular limestone cross-slab (H 1.18m; Wth 0.68m; T 0.16m), leaning to the S, was broken in two pieces in the past but has since been repaired. A crack is still visible, running diagonally across it. The E face bears an incised two-line Latin cross that extends to the edge of the slab. A single curved line is incised in each panel above and below the cross. In the lower right-hand panel traces of decoration or lettering are visible.

Probably dates to the 13th–14th century, associated with Christian burial practices. The cross-slab likely marked a grave or served as a funerary monument for a member of the Franciscan order or a local layperson of significance.
