What is recorded here

Located in Kill graveyard (GA022-043001-), this cross-slab is reputed to have been brought here from High Island. However, its composition and iconography suggest that it is originally from Caher Island (White Marshall and O’Rouke 200, 159-60, Fig. 125). The slab (H 1m; Wth 0.34m; T 0.07m) bears an outline Latin cross in bold relief which is framed in a sunken background within a weathered margin. There is a large central boss and four smaller ones, one in the centre of each arm. A small projection is evident on both sides of the top arm and this motif is also found on Caher Island (Fisher 2014, 226, no. 63). (Higgins 1987, vol. II, 345, no. 70) Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 5 May 2016
