Description from Inventory of Carved Stone, National Monuments Service Archive.
Cross-slab in Gallen likely dates to the early medieval period, possibly Christian in origin, given its cross form and positioning. It may have served as a waymarker, boundary marker, or memorial, and could be associated with local folklore or religious practice.
