Cross-slab in Kilmashogue

This cross-slab is at present located in the chapel of the College of St. Columba at Taylorsgrange. It came originally from Kilmashogue Mountain. It has a circular head and shaft (L 0.69m, Wth 0.26m, T 0.07m), the head bears a Greek double-line cross in a circle, with a raised line around the edge. The lower shaft is decorated except for the base, which may have been placed in the ground or in a base (O hEalidhe & Prendergast 1977, 142). Not precisely located

Dated to the early medieval period, likely between the 8th and 10th centuries, the cross-slab may have served a Christian commemorative or liturgical function, reflecting the influence of monastic settlements in the region. Its relocation to a chapel suggests continued veneration or repurposing in later religious contexts.
