Cross-slab in High Island

This cross-slab known only from Wakeman’s drawing of 1839 (Wakeman 1839a) is missing (Fisher 2014, 224, no. 60, Fig. 7.10). It was depicted as a tapering upright slab bearing a Latin cross, the shaft of which may have risen from an expanded base.

Likely dating to the early medieval period, the cross-slab may have had a Christian ritual or commemorative function. Its Latin cross suggests a connection to early Christian practice in the area, though specific folklore or use is not recorded.
