What is recorded here

Lying flat on the ground near the SW corner of the church at Killinaboy (CL017-020001-) with the head to the E. A rectangular slab (L 2.11m; Wth at top 0.69m; Wth at base 0.70m; T 0.17m) with an incised tau-headed crozier (L 0.69m) with a bell (L 0.2m; Wth 0.16m) below it. According to Rynne (1967, 161) ‘The crozier has a three-knopped shaft and projecting knob-like ends to the cross-piece. The large size of the slab would seem to justify its attribution to the 13th or 14th century’.

Early Christian gravestone, likely 8th to 10th century AD; significant for its incised tau-headed cross, reflecting Insular Christian art traditions in Ireland.
