A cross-slab thought to have come from Kilmashogue mountain is held in the chapel of the College of St. Columba. Ball's history (1906, 63) records the existence of a church on the mountain, all traces of which had disappeared by 1912 when Joyce published his Neighbourhood of Dublin. The graveslab (L 0.69m, Wth.0.26m, T 0.07m) has a circular head which bears a Greek double-line cross in a circle (Ball 1979, 140-142). The shaft is also decorated with a square motif. The base of the shaft is rounded, in order that the cross-slab could be placed in the ground.
