What is recorded here

One face points outward, the other holds back. That is not a mistake; it is a boundary marker wearing two expressions at once.

This cross-slab (H 0.7m; Wth 0.25m; T 0.2m) was found near the SE corner of Teaghlach Éinne (GA119-020001-), partly underlying a modern concrete grave surround (Manning 1985, 117). Both faces are decorated. One face bears a linear ringed Latin cross with a circular hollow at the top and a T-shaped terminal at the base. The arms project slightly beyond the ring. The other face bears a similar linear ringed cross with T-shaped terminals at the top and base. However, the arms do not extend beyond the ring (ibid. Fig. 25(a) Slab A).

This cross-slab is likely of early medieval Christian origin, dating to between the 8th and 11th centuries. It may have served as a funerary or commemorative monument, associated with a local ecclesiastical or burial site.
