Peel Castle Cross Slab (Manx Cross 67)

Archaeology

This broken fragment was found during restoration work in St Patrick's Chapel in 1873. It may either have served as an altar piece or as a grave marker, and would once have stood upright. Both ends are broken off, but one face is decorated with a cross in low relief. The head of the cross is broken off, and the curved outline of the stone truncated. The short shaft of the carved cross extends to a wide, similarly carved base of the same width as the horizontal arms. The cross and base are decorated with smaller crosses.
