Braddan Cross Slab (Manx Cross 78)
Archaeology
This wheel-headed slab was stood by the gate by the west entrance into the churtchyard; its earlier history in unknown. The slab is wheel-headed, and bears on one face a small equal-limbed cross within a wide ring, which is supported on a broad shaft. The space between the limbs is perforated. The limbs themselves bear a rough figure-of-eight design, and the ring is decorated with twist-and-ring pattern. The shaft is decorated with a loop-plait. The other face shows an incised cross with curved and expanding limbs, bordered by a fine line. A small ring is cut in the centre.
