• OF014-029001 Religious house - Augustinian canons
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise with river to the E. The ecclesiastical remains consist of an medieval church (OF014-029008-), early Christian cross-slabs (OF014-029003-), graveyard (OF014-029002-) and a bullaun stone (OF014-029005-). The Abbey which was built near the site of an Early Christian monastery founded by St. Canoc in 492 is now in a ruinous condition consisting of a long rectangular church (ext. dims. 23.9m E-W; 8.4m N-S; wall T 0.8m) built with roughly coursed limestone rubble with no architectural features evident. There is a N transept now blocked at the E end of the N wall (int. 7.5m N-S; 4.4m E-W; wall T 0.8m) with a destroyed window in the N gable. The interior of the abbey and sacristy are used as burial plots with a burial vault added to the W end of the S wall. There were several architectural fragments lying in the collapsed rubble along the walls of the church. The date of this church probably belongs to the 15th-century as mentioned by Armstrong (1908) who assigned such a date via the flamboyant E window which was recently destroyed by workers during recent graveyard clean up. The Early Christian cross-slabs are described by Lionard (1961 Vol. 61, 95-169) and are on display in a field to the N of the abbey on the site of a small 11th/13th-century church discovered during excavations by Kendrick in 1934-35. A small graveyard (OF014-029002-) was associated with the long rectangular church (ext. 71ft E-W; 24ft N-S ) which had a small rectangular sacristy (int. 7.5ft N-S; 16ft E-W) attached to its NE corner. Most of the cross-slabs (OF014-029003-) which date from the 8th/11th-centuries (Harbison 1970, 206) came from this excavated area. 200 decorated slabs were discovered during this excavation and are described by Kendrick (1939 Vol. 69, 1-20). (Cooke 1875, 340-43; Macalister 1908, 323-27; Crawford 1913, 262-5; Crawford 1918, 178; Fanning and O hEailidhe 1980, 17-19). Archaeological testing was carried out under licence no. 03E0202 on a proposed development site in the grounds of Gallen Priory Nursing Home, Ferbane, Co. Offaly, on 24-25 February 2003. The north edge of the site is within the area of constraint around ecclesiastical remains. Testing comprised the mechanical excavation of four trenches, varying from 30 to 100m in length. The stratigraphy comprised grey/brown sandy silt topsoil (0.4m deep) overlying yellow/brown and grey/white silty sand subsoil. Areas of grey fine to medium sand and grey coarse sand, gravel and cobbles were encountered across the tested area. A number of relatively modern features, including two sand pits and an old track/road, marked on OS 6-inch maps, were uncovered. Five further shallow features were found to be of probable post-medieval or early modern date. One of these yielded several small red-brick fragments and a potsherd, suggesting a 19th-century date. All are cut into sand, and gravel deposits may be broadly contemporary (Excavations Bulletin 2003). Dominic Delany, Unit 3, Howley Court, Oranmore, Co. Galway.

Cross-slabs were discovered during an excavation carried out in 1934-5 in the area around a medieval church (OF014-029008-) and now housed in the National Museum of Ireland (Reg. No. E. 37: Nonumber 1; Habitat C:14: 13/14). One of two cross-slabs (OF014-029012) (Kendrick 1939 1-20; PRIA 46 1940-1). Sandstone cross-slab (dims. 0.94m x 0.74m x 0.01m) which was first recorded in 1908 by E. c. R. Armstrong and is now housed in Dublin at the National Museum of Ireland. Described by Macalister as a cross-slab consisting of 'A square, originally surrounded by a key pattern on three sides -- that on the sinister side, as well as the sinister half of the bottom, is worn to evanescence. Outside this, on the dexter side, at the top, there is a rectangular panel containing a guilloche; traces show that there was a similar panel in the corresponding place on the sinister side, now broken and worn away. Inside the square there is an equal-armed cross: a singular feature of the design is the suppression of the dexter boundary-line of the vertical limbs. The horizontal limbs bear what seem to me the simple plait shewn in the diagram: though it is easy to imagine serpents' heads and other complications in some of the worn parts. The upper sinister canton contains a figure of a horned bovine animal grazing: the lower sinister canton has a rather grotesque crucifix: with kneeling angels supporting the Head of the Figure on the Cross. The lower dexter canton has a serpent twisted into a knot: the upper dexter panel has a medley of human figures, evidently intended to imitate the knotted human figures on some of the High Crosses, such as that of Monasterboice. On the vertical shaft there is a similar medley, interwoven with serpentine figures: at the bottom there is a 'sheela-na-gig' (Macalister 1949, 76-7). This slab bears an inscription that reads O~R~DODRAGUNURIA | CHATHA that can be expanded to OROIT DO DRAGUN U RIACHATHA (Macalister 1949, 76-7). Macalister, R.A.

• OF014-029036 Cross-slab
  Description

  Sandstone cross-slab (dims. 0.66m x 0.51m x 0.12m) which was unearthed during excavations of Gallen priory in 1935. Described by Macalister as a cross-slab which had a `triangular projection from the base of the slab, 6 ins. high, and 10 ins. broad, [which] is separated from the rest of the monument by a groove 3/4" across and 1/2 inch deep - apparently the trace of an abortive effort made to saw it off' (Macalister 1949, 74). The slab was decorated with a crudely executed cross. In three cantons there is a small circle containing a cross, in the fourth a combination of three circles in a trefoil. It is conceivable that these figures, which have all the appearance of graffiti additions to the original design, are intended to typify the Three Persons and their Union in the Holy Trinity: a curious anticipation, if so, of the myth of St Patrick and the Shamrock' (Macalister 1949, 74). This slab bears an inscription which reads ADRAIM that can be translated into 'I adore' (Macalister 1949, 74). East Wall, West Facing, North off-centre. Diagram Number 6 Inventory of Carved Stone ID 000007 Dimensions: Height 0.69m Width 0.52m Cross Slab. Roughly rectangular outline. The upper dexter corner projects upwards and outwards slightly and the dexter edge narrows inwards slightly towards the rounded lower corner, the lower edge curves downwards somewhat from dexter to sinister. The design consists of a ringed cross with hollow angles, the outline of the cross is defined by a deep double line incision. The ring consists of a double line incision in the lower dexter quadrant and a triple line in the dexter three quadrants. On either side of the shaft of the cross there are equal-armed crosses formed by arcs inside a circle. The circle on the dexter is composed of a double line incision, as are two of the inner arcs. The circle on the sinister side consists of a triple row of incisions. There are traces of an inscription running vertically down the stone on the sinister side of the cross.

  Description

  Situated on a slight rise with river to the E. The ecclesiastical remains consist of an a medieval church (OF014-029008-), possible abbey church (OF014-029001-), graveyard (OF014-029002-), early Christian cross-slabs (OF014-029003-) and a bullaun stone (OF014-029005-). The Abbey which was built near the site of an Early Christian monastery founded by St. Canoc in 492. Most of the cross-slabs which date from the 8th/11th-centuries (Harbison 1972, 206) came from this excavated area. 200 decorated slabs were discovered during this excavation and are described by Kendrick (1939 Vol. 69, 1-20). Recent graveyard clean up scheme in the graveyard (OF014-029002-) uncovered several Early Christian cross-slabs that have been incorporated into the fabric of the graveyard wall. Sandstone cross-slab that was discovered following excavations of Gallen priory in 1935 and described by Kendrick as a cross-slab (dims. 1.07m x 0.61m x 0.14m) with an `incised cross with expanding ends containing fret-pattern; in the centre a roundel of interlace' (Kendrick 1939, 9). This slab bears an inscription which reads O~R~DO || BRALIN which can be expanded to read as OROIT DO BRALIN (Kendrick 1939, 9-10). In 1949 this same slab was described by Macalister as `A cross with a circular expansion and looped semicircular terminal expansions: a simple interlacement in the central, key-pattern in the terminals' (Macalister 1949, 73). At this time the cross-slab was located in an out-house near the gate lodge. Macalister recorded this inscription as reading O~R~DO || BRAUN which can be expanded to read OROIT DO BRAUN (Macalister 1949, 73). East Wall, West Facing, Centre. Diagram Number 17 Inventory of Carved Stone ID 000017 Dimensions: Height 1.13m Width .64m Cross slab. Irregular outline.

  Description

  Cross-slab from Gallen that was first recorded by J. Graves in 1872 and was located in 1949`in an out-house near the gate-lodge' (Macalister 1949, 72) and described by Petries as`lying in a low, grassy mound...near the village of Ferbane...Drawn by M[argaret] S[tokes] from rubbings taken by the Rev. James Graves and Mr Hennessy' (Petrie/1872, 74). Macalister recorded that `In 1907 Mr. Armstrong visited the site...[and] identified...the DIAM slab [no. 851]...Mr Kendrick did not find the DIAM stone... [and that] stone is missing. But he found another slab [no. 852]...and there can be no reasonable doubt that it is the missing half of the DIAM stone' (Macalister 1949, 72). The slab was decorated with `an approximately equal-armed cross in a square' (Macalister 1949, 72) and was accompanied by an inscription which reads DIAM[R{A}N] that can be expanded to read DIAMRÁN. This slab was recorded in 1949 as being located on site at Gallen church (OF014-029008-). Cross Slab, two fragments remaining, lower left section missing. East Wall, West Facing, South off Centre. Diagram Number 26 Inventory of Carved Stone ID 000026 Dimensions: Height 0.79m Width0.72m Cross slab. Incomplete. Sinister two lower edges straight and even, angle of lower sinister cut across. The design consists of a double outline ringed cross, the angles of the cross are curved, crating a lozenge effect in the centre. There are small pellets in the two sinister quadrants and at the now barely discernible centre. Outside the plain ring the arms are rectangular in the outline. The design is enclosed by double incised rectangular frame. In the lower sinister quadrant outside the ring there is a horizontal inscription which reads 'RAH' or 'RAN'- now hard to trace.

  Description

  Fragmentary sandstone cross-slab (dims. 0.99m x 0.66m x 0.12m) unearthed by Kendrick during his excavations in 1935 at Gallen priory. Described by Macalister as `bearing a cross of simple design; but the greater part of the inscribed face is flaked away, and but little is left of it' (Macalister 1949, 75). This slab bears an inscription O~R~D[O][--]| LAN[--, which can be expanded to OROIT D[O][--]LAN[-- (Macalister 1949, 75). According to Macalister `There was an inscription in two lines, above and below the transom of the cross, and apparently inverted with respect to it: for when the letters are set in an upright position, the longer portion of the vertical stem is above the transom, the shorter portion below. The inscription begins with a horizontal stroke, presumably the sinister arm of an initial cross, which has been broken from the stone with the rest of the dexter margin'(Macalister 1949, 75).

It bears a compass drawn double outline equal armed cross or petal design, the petal tips truncated. The arcs cross short of the centre leaving a small lozenge shape in the middle with a small central circular depression. The cross is enclosed in a tripe outline circle. Description from Inventory of Carved Stone, National Monuments Service Archive. Kendrick, JRSAI 69 (1939) p. 19 (A110), Fig. 11. Possible 8th-century cross-slab with a four-lined cross-of-arcs, also forming a cross pattée design with central hollow, and small incised crosses in the four quadrants of the cross pattée, all of which is framed within a triple-lined circle (Lionard 1961, 111, Fig. 4). Gallen was the site of an Early Christian monastery (OF014-029008-) founded by St. Canoc in 492 AD. A large collection of early Christian cross-slabs (OF014-029003-) dating from the 8th/11th-centuries were uncovered along with the site of an early medieval church (OF014-029008-) during excavations at Gallen in 1934-5 (Kendrick 1939). This cross-of-arcs type cross-slab is one of nine cross-slabs to come from Gallen monastery (Lionard 1961, 112). A large selection of cross-slabs were inserted into a display wall on the site of the excavated medieval church.
