What is recorded here

Two graveslabs and a sarcophagus are at the SE angle of the nave of Bannow church (WX045-045001-). One of the graveslabs (Wth 0.46-0.75m; L 2.04m; T 0.1m) has an incised cross with trefoil terminals. This graveslab may have been the cover for the sarcophagus (WX045-045008-). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 22 July, 2013
Christian graveslab, early medieval period (7th–10th century). It is significant as an example of early Irish high cross design and reflects the presence of Christian burial practices in the Bannow area during the early medieval era.
