Scope and Content Cross-slab from Iona, Argyll and Bute Iona is one of the most important religious sites in Scotland. The earliest community was formed by St Columba who came over from Ireland around AD 563. This was replaced by the Benedictine Abbey and Augustinian Nunnery in about AD 1200. This is the top left corner of a free-standing sandstone slab. On one side there is a the remains of a ringed cross set within a border. On the other side is cross with a beaded border. Both sides are carved in relief. It is now in the Abbey Museum (37). A number of early Christian cross-incised stones and cross-slabs have been found on Iona. They were probably grave-markers, or possibly boundary-markers, with those decorated on both sides standing upright, and the rest being recumbent. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
