What is recorded here

Within a house (MA023-014007-) on top of Bailey Mór mound (MA023-014003-). Françoise Henry (1945, 137) found this cross-slab during the excavation of the house. It was lying just outside the entrance passage of the house and Henri postulated that the slab had served as the lintel of the doorway. Engraved on the slab, and filling approximately half of its length, is a cross with Y-shaped terminals to its long arms. Attached image: MA023-014016-_01.JPG Image published by F. Henry (1945, Pl.
