Crux Lugni Cross Site

Archaeology

A broken cross-slab found when the keeill (PRN 0402.00) was excavated by P.M.C. Kermode in 1911. It was inscribed with a Celtic cross and circle within a rectangular panel. The slab was also decorated with bird's heads, crosslets, animals and several names, the letters of which were suggestive of a 7th or early 8th century date. The slab measures 58.5 centimetres x 51 centimetres x 3.8 centimetres. It is now kept in Bride parish church.
