Cross-slab

What is recorded here

There is a cross-slab (H 0.54m; Wth 0.18-0.35m) with an incised ringed cross and the inscription: SUIBNE M.. CONHUIDIR (MacAlister 1945, vol. 1, 108, No. 934) attached to the W wall of the nave of St Carthage's Cathedral (WA021-019003-). Macalister, R. A. S. (1945) (reprint 1949) Corpus inscriptionum insularum Celticarum, 2 vols. Stationery Office, Dublin. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 21 March 2011
The cross-slab likely dates to the early medieval period, probably between the 8th and 10th centuries, and is associated with the Gaelic tradition of Christian memorial stones. The inscription "Suibne M.. Conhuidir" suggests it may commemorate an individual named Suibne, son of Conhuidir, reflecting a personal or familial dedication within a Christian context.
