What is recorded here

Death and memory are woven together in this place. One chamber holds an absence that is also a presence. The woman is both gone and still shaping the world. The chamber is her continuing self-expression.

One of three cross-inscribed stones (see also KD012-006009- and KD012-006011-) built into the wall of a graveyard (KD012-006005-) which forms part of an early monastic site (KD012-006----). A small, almost coffin-shaped, sandstone slab (dims. L 0.58m; Wth at foot 0.2m; Wth at shoulders 0.32m) bears a broad cross inside a narrow incised margin. A shamrock leaf appears to be incised above the head of the cross. This is M. Kelly's 'Cross 11'. (Kelly 2006, 179-80) Seven other cross-inscribed stones (KD012-010----, KD012-010001- to KD012-010005- and KD012-010008-) and two cross-slabs (KD012-010006- and KD012-010007- ) were removed from this graveyard and built into a 1798 memorial, while an eleventh cross-inscribed stone (KD012-020----) lies in the Bog of Allen Nature Centre Museum.

Probably dating to the early medieval period, this cross-inscribed stone was likely reused from an earlier Christian context, associated with the nearby monastic site. Such stones often had spiritual significance, serving as markers, altars, or memorials in both monastic and lay traditions.
