In a children's burial ground (KE076-011001-). A rectangular stone slab (H 1.6m; Wth 0.82m; T 0.06m), which is aligned N-S, has identical carvings of a ringed cross (H 1.18m) centrally placed on each face. The head of the cross (Wth 0.12m) extends upwards beyond the ring, the arms extend beyond the ring to the edge of the slab, and the shaft extends beyond the ring to the present ground level. A faint carving of a bird was recently noted on the E face of the cross-slab at the top of the shaft of the cross (pers. comm. John Sheehan). According to O'Connell (1937, 303-304), the 'cross on the west side appears to be a more modern copy of that on the east side'.
