What is recorded here

Originally located in the graveyard (GA027-034001-) surrounding 'Rosshill Abbey' (GA027-034----) 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. This slab has since been moved to the church (GA027-27----) in An Fhairche/Clonbur (field-monuments.galwaycommunityheritage.org/content/archaeology/graveslabs/rosshill-cross-slab last accessed 10 January 2019); see GA027-027001- for present location.
