Keeill Vael Cross Slab (Manx Cross 183)

Archaeology

This stone was found during excavation at Keeill Vael (IOMHER 0806.00) in 1979. On one face the slab bears a simple incised cross with approximately equal length arms. The same keeill site, in Druidale, Michael, produced several other inscribed slabs recorded by Manx National Heritage as Manx Crosses 186-188, including one bearing a crudely incised cross within an irregular frame with additional crosslets hanging from its foot - indicating that more than one carved memorial stone was associated with this chapel site.
