This is the original location record of a cross-slab, which also bears an ogham inscription. The only information regarding its provenance is that it was discovered in the 1940s in the townland of Barleyfield near Kilbrittain (Lankford 1993, 12-13). It consists of a flat-topped block of sandstone (0.56m x 0.28m x 0.2m) with a large Latin cross with expanded terminals on one face. The deeply cut ogham inscription along one edge has been read as TE-CORMAQ (ibid.). Damage to the lower portion of the stone indicates that it may have been part of a larger pillar stone (ibid.). This stone is in the Cork Public Museum (see CO074-166----). (Ronan et al. 2009, no. 16919)
