What is recorded here

The second of two cross-inscribed slabs that stand on the W side of the corner-post shrine (KE070-043003-). This broad slab (H 0.75m) features an encircled Maltese cross pendant from which is a grooved stem, representing a flabellum. The stem has two lozenge-shaped expansions and a terminal triangular expansion. Above the encircled cross is the stylised profile of a bird while beneath it is a pair of curvilinear motifs, possibly representing the ribbons which are occasionally associated with flabella. (O'Sullivan and Sheehan 1996, 263-5, no. 934, slab 2) See attached photograph courtesy of Amanda Clarke Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.
