• GA040-013002 Cross-inscribed pillar
  Description

  This pillar stone, of hard greyish Silurian stone, stands to the SW of Teampull Phádraig (GA040-013001-). It is slender and four-sided, widening appreciably towards the base (0.9m high, 0.16m by 0.15m widening to 0.3m). The pillar-stone has seven small equal-armed crosses with bifurcated ends deeply carved on it, two on each of its faces except that to the N on which there is only one. There is also a two-line inscription clearly cut on its S face, reading perpendicularly towards the ground. In twenty-three Old Latin characters it reads: LIE LUGUAEDON MACCI MENUEH’ (Rynne 1995). The inscription may date from as early as the sixth century and is probably the oldest extant example of an Irish inscription in Latin characters (ibid., 210). (Higgins 1987, vol. 2, 303, no. 31) See attached screenshots of 3D model of Cross-inscribed pillar created by Digital Heritage Age. 3D model can be accessed on the Sketchfab website at: https://skfb.ly/6sELv Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 18 December 2014 The monument was taken into Ownership under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 - National Monument 412.

• GA040-013003 Graveyard
  Description

  This rectangular graveyard (26.1m E-W; 12.3m N-S), associated with St. Patrick's Church (GA040-013001-), is bounded by a modern wall. Burials are concentrated to the S of the church and continue eastwards from its E gable wall. The famed pillar stone (GA040-013002-) is visible to the SW of the church. Two other plain erect pillar stones are probably grave-markers. Modern 19th-century graveslabs are visible as well as some very small boulders that also probably mark graves.

• GA040-013008 Cross-slab
  Description

  This cross-slab is built into the W end of the S wall of the nave of ‘Templenaneeve’ (GA040-013004-). According to Higgins (1987, vol. II, 343, no. 68), the sides of the slab (Wth 1.1m; H 0.89m) are partly covered by mortar and its full extent is uncertain. It bears an elaborate three-line cross with semi-circular expansional terminals and a central roundel at the junction of the arms and shaft. The roundel and terminals are decorated with a key or fret pattern. Overall the design is a bit asymmetrical. This cross-slab is almost identical to one on High Island - see GA021-026039- (Scally 2014, 309, Pl. 10.3). Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 1 February 2018

• GA040-013009 Cross-slab
  Description

The cross dominates most of the face of the slab. A cross-inscribed pillar (GA040-013010-) is also pinned to the wall to its W.

• GA040-013010 Cross-inscribed pillar

II, 301, no. 29) the slender limestone pillar (H 0.66m; Wth 0,85m; T 0.1-0.12m) was once broken in two but it has since been repaired with a thick layer of concrete. It bears a pocked one-line Latin cross with expanded or wedge-shaped terminals. Another cross-slab is pinned to the wall to its E – see GA040-013009-.
