A recumbent cross-slab, the northernmost of four slabs on the floor of ‘Teampul na bhFear nGonta’ (CL029-009015-) (see also CL029-009160-, CL029-009161- and CL029-009162-). Noted by Macalister (1916-17, 159, no. 69) as ‘of twelfth-century date’ and described as an elaborately carved slab in which the Latin cross is ornamentally treated. It measures 6ft (1.82m) by 1ft 5in (0.43m) and the cross is in double lines on a square expanding base. The angles are cut with hollowed double squares and the head is brought to a point with lines that cross over each other. The ornamentation in the cantons suggests the wheel of a ‘celtic’ cross.
