An Early Christian sandstone cross-slab (LA019-016002-) which is decorated on both faces was recently found in the graveyard during a clean-up scheme (pers. comm. D. Delaney). On one face there is an incised cross with interlaced terminals with the initials E D later carved on the bottom of the slab and on the other face there is a panel of interlace enclosed by a trriple-lined circle, below which there is an interlaced triquetra knot.
