This ancient stone carving was discovered around 2008 during the construction of the folk village, though its original home remains unknown. Archaeological surveys suggest it once stood somewhere within a 20-mile radius of its current location, arriving at Glencolumbkille already damaged from what appears to be a recent break.

The cross-slab itself measures 0.84 metres in height, with a width that tapers from 0.52 metres at its broadest point to 0.2 metres, and a thickness varying between 0.075 metres. Its surface bears the delicate work of early Christian stone carvers; a double-banded cross has been thinly incised into the stone, featuring intricate interlacing at its centre. The arms of the cross terminate in triquetra patterns, those distinctive three-cornered Celtic knots that appear throughout Irish medieval art.

This displaced monument now forms part of the archaeological collection at Cill Fhathnaid (the Irish name for Glencolumbkille), where it continues to intrigue visitors and historians alike. While its exact origins and original purpose remain shrouded in mystery, the cross-slab serves as a tangible link to the area’s rich Christian heritage, joining the numerous other carved stones and early ecclesiastical remains that dot this corner of County Donegal.
