Cross-slab (present location)

What is recorded here

In a shrine immediately N of Tobar Iosa (TS075-044001-). According to Power (1908, 23) the stone with 'a small inscribed cross in a circle, was found many years ago together with the smaller rude cross, in a bog close to the Bansha road, a full half mile from the well. This information I had from the actual finder, Roger Sheehy, aged eighty years at the date of my interview'. Location of small 'rude cross' is unknown. The cross-slab consists of central crude stone (H 0.76m; Wth 0.35m; T c. 0.21m), conglomerate with quartz pebbles, with incised latin cross with expanded terminals enclosed by circle (diam. 0.26m) and incised cross (dims. 0.1m x 0.12m) above. A metal cross has been inserted into the top of this stone. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
