Osruths Cross
Archaeology
This cross-fragment was found at the old church of St John's when it was dismantled in the mid-19th century in advance of the construction of the present building. It is the lower part of the shaft of a high cross and displays a ring-chain pattern. There is also has a runic inscription along one edge, which says "but Osruth carved these runes." A cast of the fragment is kept at the Manx Museum (No.107).
