What is recorded here

Breakage removed most of the cross before it entered the Clonmacnoise inventory, leaving a small fragment that still displays looped terminals and a possible fret pattern near the stem. That much of the design survived means the cross was made to be seen, even if it no longer stands complete beside the graves it marked.

Clonmacnoise grave-slab inventory (1992) number: CLN00388 Dimensions: H 0.24, W 0.30, T 0.12 Outline cross with median line and semicircular looped terminal expansions. There may be fret pattern in the stem terminal. No inscription. Evidence of discovery: Davis 1984. Condition: Fragment with part of stem/right arm terminals.. The Clonmacnoise inventory was compiled by the Office of Public Works. A copy of the record for this slab is available for inspection in the relevant Archaeological Survey of Ireland (SMR) file. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 23 May 2011

Probably dates to the early medieval period (7th–10th century). The cross-slab likely had a Christian funerary or commemorative function, common in monastic sites like Clonmacnoise.
