Inscribed Stone

A large inscribed stone now stands outside the Mission Church in St Francis Road, Indian Queens. It is 1.8m tall and is inscribed with badly worn letters that read

RUANI HICIACIT or CRUARIG (HICIACIT)


It is believed to be a tombstone of the fifth or sixth century. The stone previously stood alongside the old Immanuel Chapel, Indian Queens, before it was re-located. The stone is protected as a Scheduled Monument.
