What is recorded here

One of five early medieval cross-slabs (see also LF013-045004-, LF013-045011-, LF013-045012-, LF013-045013-) attached to the W face of a display feature that has been constructed on the line of the E gable of a church (LF013-045002-). This rough undressed cross-slab (H 0.83m; Wth 0.52m; T 0.12m) bears an incised ringed cross with decorated expanded terminals in false relief. There is an indication that the head of the cross may have been within a circular setting. The inscription reads MAEL – CHOLUIM (Macalister 1949, vol. 2, 196). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan, Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 6 June 2013
