Cross-slab in Kiltubbrid

A fragment of a cross-slab is described (Herity et al. 1997, 105) as ‘rectangular with an equal-armed cross in relief, 26.5cm by 27.3cm, with square expanded terminals and centre, the latter with a saltire cross’ and it is kept in the mausoleum structure inside the N wall of Kiltubbrid graveyard (LE024-021002-).

likely dates to the early medieval period (7th–10th century) and may have served a Christian commemorative or liturgical function. The presence of interwoven cross designs suggests symbolic religious significance, possibly associated with monastic or ecclesiastical activity in the area.
