What is recorded here

Recorded by Fisher (2014, 214, no. 33, Fig. 7.6), this is one of two cross-slabs (see also GA021-026056-) that were found from the paved floor of ‘Cell A’, the clochan (GA021-026012-) to the N of the church (GA021-026014-) on High Island. The cross-slab (H 0.54m; Wth 0.24m; T 0.04m) of garnet mica-schist is cruciform in shape and is broken obliquely at the foot and damaged at the right side. The cross-head of one face is decorated with a weathered linear Greek cross. The cross-slab is now in the care of the OPW (Athenry depot, Co. Galway, see GA084-151023-).
