Cross-slab in High Island

Recorded by Fisher (2014, 212, no. 25, Fig. 7.5), this garnet mica-schist cross-slab (H 0.52m; Wth 0.24m; T 0.07m) was found in rubble in an excavated area on the N side of the ecclesiastical enclosure (GA021-026022-). Shallow curved indentations on both sides of the slab suggest the stumpy arms of a Greek cross. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 20 November 2015

Date likely to the early medieval period, associated with Christian worship or burial practices. The cross-slab may have marked a grave or served as a monument within a religious site.
