What is recorded here

In the graveyard (WA040-008008-) associated with the early medieval church (WA040-008001-) known as St Declan's Oratory, the late 12th-century cathedral (WA040-008002-) and the round tower (WA040-008003-) at Ardmore. A roughly rectangular slab (H 0.5m; Wth 0.31m; D 0.08m) with irregular rounded edges and undressed surface. A deeply incised cross with expanded terminals occupies most of the surface of the slab. The three upper arms of the cross appear to be of roughly equal size, though the lateral terminals are quite worn, particularly that on the dexter side. The terminal of the cross-base is well preserved and is smaller than the upper arms.
