What is recorded here

One of five early medieval cross-slabs (see also LF013-045004-, LF013-045011-, LF013-045012-, LF013-045013-) attached to the W face of a display feature that has been constructed on the line of the E gable of a church (LF013-045002-). This rough undressed cross-slab (H 0.83m; Wth 0.52m; T 0.12m) bears an incised ringed cross with decorated expanded terminals in false relief. There is an indication that the head of the cross may have been within a circular setting. The inscription reads MAEL – CHOLUIM (Macalister 1949, vol. 2, 196). Compiled by: Patrick F.

Early medieval in date, likely 8th to 11th century, the cross-slab probably served a Christian liturgical or commemorative function, associated with the church and used for teaching or ritual purposes. Such slabs often carried symbolic Christian iconography and may have been linked to local saints or monastic traditions.
