What is recorded here

Cross-slab (present location) in Inishmurray is a cross-slab (present location) in Inishmurray, County Sligo, Ireland. The irregular pentagonal slab measures 0.49 m in height, 0.44 m in width and 0.05 m in thickness, with a 0.26 m by 0.33 m cross occupying its upper two thirds. Its shaft and upper arm form one tapering trapezoid in false relief, while the horizontal arms are slightly longer, expand towards their ends and fuse with the vertical element. Each quadrant holds an irregularly shaped and positioned boss in false relief.

Brought to the Schoolhouse/OPW conservation store from Teach Molaise (SL001-001005-) in the Cashel (SL001-001001-) in 1989. Irregular pentagonal slab (H: 0.49 m, W: 0.44 m, Th: 0.05 m) with cross (0.26 m by 0.33 m) in its upper two thirds. The shaft and upper arm is formed from a single trapezoid that tapers slightly towards the top, formed from a continuous false relief strand. The horizontal arms, which unusually are slightly longer than the others and expand slightly towards the terminals, are formed from similar trapezoids that fuse with the vertical element. Each quadrant contains a boss in false relief that is irregularly positioned and shaped.
