Fragmentary sandstone cross-slab (dims. 0.74m x 0.51m x 0.07m) unearthed by Kendrick during his excavations in 1935 at Gallen priory. Described by Macalister as a slab with a 'wheel cross' (Macalister 1949, 75) which bears an inscription --]A[M]ACCATHAIL, that can be expanded to --]A [M]AC CATHAIL (Macalister 1949, 75). The cross design is identical to the cross-slab (OF014-029037-) which possibly bears an inscription now mainly lost. These two cross-slabs may be the same slab.
