This early Christian cross-slab was noted by Higgins (1992, 209-12) in a section of the field wall between the round tower (GA0094-072004-) and the church (GA094-072001-) in the early ecclesiastical enclosure (GA094-072002-) at Roscam. The oblong slab of sandstone (L 0.52m; Wth 0.34m; T 0.13-14m) bears a crudely pocked single-line Latin cross which is set off-centre within a subrectangular frame. The slab has been crudely worked but its shape is natural and unaltered. It seems unlikely that it was set upright but was rather a recumbent cross-slab that was laid on a grave (ibid.). Another early Christian cross-slab (GA094-072012-) is located within the graveyard (GA094-072003-).
