What is recorded here

This inscribed slab was formerly located in the graveyard (GA027-034001-) associated with 'Rosshill Abbey' (GA027-034----), c. 1km to the NNW, and within an ecclesiastical enclosure (GA027-034002-) associated with St Brendan of Clonfert (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 402). Described by Higgins (1987, ii, 381, no. 101) as a limestone slab bearing the inscription OR DO MAELBRENDAIN. The letters are deeply cut by pocking and the inscription occupies only a small portion of the end of the slab. The slab was subsequently moved to the church in An Fhairche/Clonbur (field-monuments.galwaycommunityheritage.org/content/archaeology/graveslabs/rosshill-cross-slab last accessed 10 January 2019); see GA027-034004- for original location.
