Date likely to the early medieval period, possibly 8th to 10th century AD, based on the cross-slabs found in the Clonmacnoise area. The trieskilon (triskele) motif may symbolize the Christian Trinity or have pre-Christian symbolic associations, though its specific meaning in this context remains uncertain.
