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. The relief-carved cross consists of two interlaced ribbons set within a frame. There is a square knot in the middle and knotted terminals. There are three groups of letters visible on the weathered surface. The stone is in the Abbey Museum (48). 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.
