What is recorded here

One slab in the Rosenallis sacristy is not a cross at all but a Greek T, the oldest visible shape of surrender, carved before Christianity had learned the word for itself. The other two wear false-relief patterns that suggest faces only when shadow moves across them, as if stone were remembering breath. They came from Rearymore, where nobody is left to say what they marked. A church kept them, not because they are beautiful, but because they refuse to explain themselves.

Three Early Christian cross-slabs decorated with incised and false relief geometrical designs. One slab has face-like features. Originally located in Rearymore church (LA003:003001-). Now in the sacristy of the R.C. church in Rosenallis. Described by Leask as slab number 2 and consisting of 'A slab more elaborate then number 1, not figured, with a Greek T (Tau) in centre' (Leask 1938, 109) (LA003-003004-).

Date likely to the 7th–9th century AD, associated with Early Christian monastic or ecclesiastical activity. The face-like features may represent stylized human or symbolic forms, possibly linked to spiritual or protective functions.
