This irregularly shaped cross-slab, measuring 0.7 metres in height and 0.6 metres at its widest point, has been positioned along an east-west alignment. Both faces of the weathered stone bear the distinctive form of a Greek cross, each arm terminating in a T-bar ending; a decorative detail that speaks to the craftsmanship of early Christian stone carvers in Ireland.

The slab’s location in a field boundary suggests it may have served multiple purposes throughout its long history, perhaps marking territorial divisions or serving as a waymarker for pilgrims traversing the boggy landscape. The marshy conditions of the surrounding pasture have likely helped preserve this monument, though they also hint at why this particular spot was chosen; such boundary markers often occupied liminal spaces between cultivated land and wild bog, between the sacred and the everyday.

This cross-slab forms part of County Donegal’s rich tapestry of field monuments, documented in the comprehensive Archaeological Survey compiled by Brian Lacey and his team in 1983. Whilst it may lack the grandeur of high crosses found at major ecclesiastical sites, this humble stone marker offers a tangible connection to the early medieval landscape of Donegal, when such crosses dotted the countryside, serving both spiritual and practical functions for the communities that erected them.
