• MA016-004003 Headstone
  Description

  In a church (MA016-004001-), built into the W side of a stone-built grave structure which spans the width of the church. Listed in the SMR (1991) and the RMP (1997) as ‘inscribed stone’ on the basis of a reference in Westropp (1914, 77) which mentions that one of two tall pillars, set close to the N wall in the interior of the church, had 'a long epitaph'. This 19th-century headstone or memorial stone consist of an upright slab (H 1.78m; Wth 0.38m N-S; T 0.15m E−W) of dressed limestone, rectangular in shape with a rounded top, with a memorial inscription inscribed on the W face. An ogham stone (MA016-004004-) stands 2m to E on the opposite side of the grave structure. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 2 May 2017

• MA016-004004 Ogham stone
  Description

  On W shoreline of the Mullet Peninsula, located in the interior of a ruined, medieval church (MA016-004001-), named Cross Abbey on the 1921 OS 6-inch map, which was part of a priory of Augustinian Canons, and a cell of Ballintubber Abbey (MA089-058004-). The church stands in the NW end of a roughly D-shaped graveyard (MA016-004002-), which is bordered on the W side by a cliff dropping to a rocky shoreline, at the NE end of a long sweep of beach. Westropp (1914, 77) recorded this stone as one of two tall stone pillars, one on either side of a ‘walled burial space, 7 feet wide [2.1m],’ which spanned the width of the church. He described this stone, on the E side of the burial space, as follows: ‘6 feet 5 inches high [1.95m] by 8 inches [0.2m] by 6 inches [0.15m], and shows notches on the natural-squared edge and faint traces of straight and slant scores'. Upright, straight-sided pillar-like stone (H 1.95m; Wth 2.3m N−S; T 0.17m E−W), rectangular in cross-section, with an ogham inscription cut across the NW angle. The top of the stone has an upward slant from N to S. A section of the upper E face has sheared off in a flat plane, reducing the E−W thickness of the upper 0.57m of the stone to 0.1m. The stone tilts very slightly to N. The ogham stone is built into the E side of a flat-topped, vertical-sided rectangular grave structure (Wth 2.3m E−W; H 0.6-0.7m), built of mortared stone , which is located c. 6m from the E end of the church, and spans the N−S width of the church. This structure, the ‘walled burial space’ recorded by Westropp (1914, 77), is relatively late in date (it blocks a doorway in the N wall of the church), and is somewhat dilapidated, with a largely grass-covered upper surface. The ogham stone is incorporated into the outer edge of the low E wall of the grave structure, at a distance of 1.1m from the N wall of the church. The base of the stone is flanked on the S, W and N sides by the grave wall; the E face is more or less flush with the external face of the grave wall. (Jane O’Shaughnessy, field report) The upper marks on the ogham stone are so badly worn that a reading is impossible, but more legible marks [including an R] exist lower down and continue into the ground (pers. comm. Karl Brady) (Condit and Corlett 2005, 98). Compiled by: Nora White Date of upload: 2 May 2017
