Bishops Court Cross-slab, runic inscribed
Archaeology
A badly worn carved slab which was once used as a door lintel at Bishopscourt. Each face is decorated with an inscribed shafted wheel-headed cross, one with a dog and interlace pattern. It was found in 1893 and measures 190 centimetres by 58 centimetres and is 14 centimetres thick. It is numbered as Manx Cross No. 94. It has been said to include a runic inscription, but modern authorities doubt this.
See also Manx Cross 94.
