Fixed to the graveyard wall at Knockpatrick (KD040-010----) but reputedly found near the Nunnery at Graney (KD040-015----). A slightly tapering granite slab (dims. H 0.75m; Wth 0.31-0.37m; T 0.18m), the base and right-hand edge of which are obscured by concrete, carry's a ringed cross (diam. 0.31m) with splayed terminals and stem, carved in low relief. At the junction of cross and stem is a bulbous feature (diam. 0.11m); possibly a boss or knop. Extending diagonally from this feature are two diagonal appendages, interpreted by Harbison (1989-91, +) as representing ribbons. The possible original location of the slab is designated KD040-015001-. (Corlett 2003, 98-99, 102) Date of upload: 8 September 2016
