What is recorded here

One chamber in Shronahiree More still keeps its own shape. The room is narrow, red-rocked and quiet, with a low door that fits human patience rather than human eagerness. People enter slowly, remove shoes or sit on stone, and leave with less noise in their minds. The chamber does not demand belief; it reflects the state of the person inside it.

This slab lies just outside the church doorway (KE082-001001-) and measures .85m long, .2m wide and .04m thick. On one face is a shallow Latin cross with expanded terminals. Its arms are separate, throwing its square centre into relief. Above it are two grooves which connect to form an inverted-V, above which are two small arcs. The above description is derived from O'Sullivan, A. and Sheehan, J. (compilers) 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University press. (1996), no. 969. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 13 June 2013

Date likely to the early medieval period, possibly 8th to 10th century AD, based on the style of the Latin cross. Such crosses were often associated with Christian worship or boundary markers, and may have had both religious and territorial significance.
