Maughold Cross Slab (Manx Cross 169)
Archaeology
This broken slab was found in the churchyard in 1948. One face bears the remains of a square-armed cross with sunken recesses between each arm. A square central panel contains a Latin inscription which translates, '(In the name of) Jesus Christ, Branhui led off water to this place'.
The other face bears a simple compass-arc cross within a double circle and two graffito inscriptions. The first is in Latin and the second comprises possible runes and a small knot motif.
