What is recorded here
Clear water, a sharp cut, and a sudden visible marker. An invisible room became a place where everyone could point, remember, and meet. The camera did not show a chamber, but it changed the chamber into a shared fixture.
This graveslab is at present located in the chapel of the College of St. Columba. It came originally from Kilmashogue Mountain. It has a circular head and shaft (L 0.69m, Wth 0.26m, T 0.07m), the head bears a Greek double-line cross in a circle, with a raised line around the edge. The lower shaft is decorated except for the base, which may have been placed in the ground or in a base (Ó hÉailidhe and Prendergast 1977, 141-42, Fig. 29).

This cross-slab likely dates to the early medieval period, associated with Christian burial practices. The Greek cross design may reflect the influence of Insular art and the spread of Christianity in the region.
