Keeill Chiggyrt Cross Slab (Manx Cross 79)

Archaeology

This slab was found at Keeill Chiggyrt (IOMHER 0558.00) before 1872. It is a wheel-headed slab, the head of which is filled by an equal-armed cross set within a ring. The arms of the cross expand towards the ring, and are decorated with a variety of knotwork, including triquetras and plaits of three and five. The surrounding ring is reduced to a single bead-moulding. The ring is supported on the head of a human figure with bent legs and partially extended arms.
