What is recorded here

A large collection of cross slabs, grave slabs, decorated stones and three effigies (See KD022-029023- and KD022-029027- to KD022-029057-), dating from the 10th to the 17th centuries have been placed in St. Brigid’s Cathedral (KD022-029005-). KD022-029028-: According to Bradley et al. (1986 vol. 3, 226. Fig. 101) a limestone slab in two pieces (L 0.39m; Wth 0.27m) is decorated in false relief with a Maltese cross within a circle. This is outlined on three sides by three deeply scored lines, having a two-line interlaced S-scroll at the corner. The remains of a decorated panel survive on the fourth side.
