Lonan Cross Slab (Manx Cross 27)

Archaeology

This small slab was found in the churchyard in 1906. It bears a simple incised cross, made exceptional by short bars which cross the upper and lower limbs. The terminals of the arms are deliberately rounded. A curious semi-circular frame encloses the upper half of the cross, and almost exactly echoes the rounded head of the slab, which seems to have been deliberately shaped.
