Saturday, 20th July 2002

There are three very nice examples of Rathdown/Rathmichael style cross slabs here.

The tallest (and nicest in my oppinion) shows a tall cross with holes at the terminals and the intersection. There are serpentine lines running down either side, giving it a norse feel.

The others are smaller. One has two cups with concentric rings oined by a line. The top circles have a sun-burst eminating from it. The other has a cup with concentric rings with a gutter running out of it. Along this gutter is another cup.
