What is recorded here
A portion (0.4m x 0.18m; T 0.035m) of a small roughly shaped cross formed one of the covering slabs at the head of an early medieval grave in the graveyard (CO070-043008-). It was recovered during archaeological excavations in the ecclesiastical enclosure (see Sheehan 1994, 41-2; 1995, 43-4; 1996, 40-41; 1997, 47; 1998, 82; 2000a, 89; 2000b, 112; 2004, 211-12; 2006, 214). The excavator concluded that the grave may be that of the site's founder (Sheehan 2009).
