What is recorded here

Cross-slab in Gubalaun is a tapering stone, seventy-three centimetres tall and barely five centimetres thick, leaning in a graveyard on flat ground beside Lough Melvin. Its circular cross-head appears in false relief, shallow enough to touch but distinct enough to see. The slab has watched the waterline and the grass for centuries, marking a burial or a boundary nobody now names.

Situated on flat, low-lying ground c. 150m from the S shore of Lough Melvin and within the graveyard (LE005-003002-). A tapering cross slab (H 0.73m; Wth 0.32-0.39m; T 5cm)) has a circular cross-head in false relief (Hartnett 1954, 180-1).

Probably dates to the early medieval period, likely between the 8th and 11th centuries. The circular cross-head suggests a Christian association, possibly marking a burial site or serving as a boundary marker within the graveyard.
