What is recorded here

Life and memory have gone from the place, leaving behind an empty chamber and a missing cross-slab. What remains is a quiet gap where presence once stood.

This cross-slab was recorded by White Marshall and Rourke (2000, 144, no. 6) who found it on the SW side of the church (GA021-026014-) on High Island. It was a tapering cross-slab (H 0.51m; Wth 0.31m; T 0.07m) of garnet mica-schist that was broken at the top. It was decorated on one face with an incised linear cross enclosed by a subrectangular line. The latter was open or incomplete at the top. This cross-slab is now missing (Fisher 2014, 217-18, no. 40, Fig. 7.7). Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 20 November 2015

This cross-slab likely dates to the early medieval period, associated with Christian symbolism and possibly used as a grave marker or commemorative monument. Its location near a church suggests a liturgical or ritual connection, though specific folklore or prehistoric use is not recorded.
