Balnahowe Cross Slab (Manx Cross 95)

Archaeology

This fragment was found at a chapel and burial ground on Balnahowe farm (IOMHER 0763.00). It consists of the broken head of a slab bearing the remains of a 'cross patt?e' within a ring of bead-moulding. Each limb is occupied by a triquetra knot. An early drawing shows the slab in a more complete condition with irregular interlace below the cross (a tiny part of which survives), partially framing a figure on horseback.
