Cross-slab in Sevenchurches OR Camaderry

Located: outside NE corner of 'Priest's House' (WI023-008004-). Described by Leask (1950, fig. 19e, 42) as ‘a slightly tapering slab, incised with a single-line cross in a single-line frame. The cross has a diamond-shaped centre and triangular ends and has two short cross bars in addition; the upper plain, the lower with circular ends. Placed at NE angle of the “Priests House”’.

Wicklow. Extract from the Eightieth Annual Report of the Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland 1911-12. Dublin, 1925.

Probably dates to the early medieval period, associated with Christian worship or waymarking. The cross symbol may have had both religious significance and a function as a territorial or ritual marker.
