What is recorded here

In the NW sector of ‘Killeen Cormac’ burial ground (KD032-044----). First recorded by Fitzgerald (1899-1902(f), 161 (L)). A slender earthfast stone (H 1.3m; L 0.35m N-S; Wth 0.25m) has a lightly carved bust on the upper N face: a head, with a very pointed chin, is shown with a possible hooded-cloak and the figure carries a cross over its left shoulder. Fitzgerald suggests it may be meant to represent Our Lord, and that the carving may have been recut in the late-19th-century. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 21 November 2013
