From a keeill in Ballaterson comes this large rectangular shaped slab.
On one side is a cross extending from the shaft, but overlayed by a
circle with another circular boarder. Within the inner circle are five
more smaller circles marking out the middle and edge points for the
limbs. On the right edge is a short inscription in Hiberno-Saxon reading Crux Guriat. Gwriad, a Welsh Prince, with his family may have sought refuge
on Man when dispossessed by his brother Howel, over whom, he was later
victorious. This cross is believed to be the earliest Celtic cross in
the parish and dates around the 9th century.
