Cross-slab

What is recorded here

Standing 3m to S of the round tower (WI023-008002-). A small erect and partially damaged slab (H0.46m; Wth 0.4m; T 0.04m) has a slightly raised, broad cross, defined by parallel grooved lines (Wth 1cm; D 0.5cm) carved on its E-face. The shaft and arms are 0.1m wide. Apparently not previously recorded. Date of upload: 10 October 2012
Likely dating to the early medieval period, this cross-slab may have served a Christian commemorative or ritual function, associated with the nearby round tower. The carved cross suggests a ecclesiastical or symbolic connection to early Irish monastic sites.
