Hedin Cross (No. 142)
Hedin Cross (No. 142)
A badly broken slab from a lintel grave at the north keeill. On
each side is a Celtic cross design without a circle. The decoration
is not very good, but there are good cut runes. The shaft has a step
pattern design with cable moulding borders. This work may suggest Anglican
work. On one side below the right arm of the cross is a Viking Ship. The
only example on the Isle of Man. The inscription reads: Hedin: seti: krus:
thina: after: tutur: sino Lif, meaning Hedin set this cross to the memory
of his daughter Hlif. On the other face is a short inscription on the
right side reading: Arni: risti: runar: thisir, meaning Arni Carves these
runes.
