What is recorded here

This cross-slab was originally located on the leacht (SL001-009002-) at Crossmore. It was removed to the Schoolhouse/OPW conservation store in 1989. Slab (H: 0.9 m, W: 0.285 m, Th: 0.07 m) with an equal armed outline cross (0.35 m by 0.265 m) formed from a single false relief strand. The strand curves from the right side of the terminal of one arm to the left side of the terminal of the next, and the terminals themselves (where they survive) comprise convex curves. The substantial incised area at the crossing is filled with a lozenge-shaped, false relief boss with a central dimple. The above description is derived from the results of a survey of the archaeological monuments on Inishmurray undertaken in 1997-1999 and published in: Jerry O’Sullivan and Tomás Ó Carragáin 2008 Inishmurrary. Monks and pilgrims in an Atlantic landscape. Volume 1: Archaeological Survey and Excavations 1997-2000. Cork. The Collins Press. Date of upload: 20 February 2018
