PASSING NOTES ON SOME OF THE SCULPTURED STONE CROSSES AND OTHER REMAINS OF PAST AGES IN THE ISLE OF MAN.

BY LLEWELLYNN JEWITT, F.S.A., ETC., ETC.

THE Sculptured stones, whether with or without runes, which came under my notice during a delightful visit, recently paid to the Isle of Man, are many in number, and, assuredly, among the most interesting and important relics of which the island, rich as it is in every class of antiquarian objects, and in endless phases of natural beauty, is the envied possessor. The intricacy of their design, the variety of interlacing they present in the different portions of their ornamentation, the not infrequent introduction of emblematic and other figures in their decoration, the interest attaching to the runic characters in which the inscriptions are carved, and the beauty and high finish of the workmanship they exhibit, place these remains in the Isle of Man, far, very far, above those of any other known district in which objects of an analagous character occur.

Taking these in the order in which they were seen during the visit, the first to be noticed are those at Kirk Braddan, in the churchyard at which place six are preserved, and from which another has, I a

am

informed, been unfortunately removed to the museum of Mr. Wallace, at Distington, near Whitehaven.* One of these, nearly five feet in height, has three sides of its shaft beautifully sculptured with interlaced Ophidian reptiles, while the fourth bears an inscription in runic characters, which has been read as

THURLABR: NEAKI: RISTI: KRUS: THANA: AFT:

FIAK SUN: SIN: BRUTHUR SUN: EABRS [or,
IABRS], and translated as, "Thorlaf Neaki erected
this Cross to Fjak his son the nephew [brother's
son] of Jabr." The angles of the shaft are cable-
moulded, and it is surmounted by the usual head
of cross and circle combined; of this, however,
only a portion remains. The runes on this cross,
as on some others, are remarkably clear and well
defined, and on the under side of the remaining
segment of the circle are the characters here

engraved, which have
been conclusively read as
IHESVS. + This cross is
represented on the engrav-
ing at the head of this

article; it is the centre one of the group of

three; and also in these two marginal woodcuts, for which I am indebted to Mr. Kneale, the well-known runic scholar.

Another fragment of a cross, close by this one, is also elaborately sculptured on one side with interlaced serpent-like animals, and on the other with an intricate arrangement of knot-work in panels, and bears up one of its sides-or rather (these sculptured stones being slab-like in their proportions; thin in comparison to their width) up one edge-the following inscription in runes :-UTR : RISTI : KRUS:

THANA: AFT : FRAKKA: FATHUR: SIN: IN: THURBJAURN: SUNR.....

which has been read as, "Ottar erected this cross to Frakka his father; but Thorbjörn the son of...... [made it]." It is the shortest (that on the right) in the group engraved at the head of this article.

Another, standing upright by these two (the one to the left in the group engraved at the head of this article), was, until 1865, used as the sill, or step, of the church door. It is about 3 ft. 6 in. in length and 14 in. in width, and one side only is carved. It differs from others in the fact that the inscription, in runic characters, is not on the edge, but occupies the space at one side of the shaft of the cross, while the other side is filled in with a Guilloche pattern. The shaft

It is much to be hoped that when the new "Manx-Land Museum" is formed, this may be recovered and placed in it. Failing this a cast should be obtained for preservation.

+Of this remarkable cross, and the symbolism of its ornamentation, an elaborate account, with an illustrative plate, will be found in the "RELIQUARY," vol. XIV., pp. 137 to 142. Also in Wilson's "Prehistoric Annals of Scotland," from which excellent work I am permitted to reproduce the engraving, fig. 1 on plate X.
