What is recorded here

This cross-slab is now inside St Finan's church (KE098-039001-). A sandstone slab is of regular outline and tapers in width towards its base. It measures 1.24m long, .56m in maximum width, and averages .05m thick. The ringed cross-form is composed of an approximately equal-armed outline cross, with hollowed angles, which is contained within a two-line ring set on a tapering, slightly curved shaft. At the junction of the arms and shaft is a single-line circle. The worn portion of an inscription on this slab, noted by Macalister (1949, 98), is no longer apparent. The above description is derived from O'Sullivan, A. and Sheehan, J. (compilers) 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University press. (1996), no. 974. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 18 June 2013
