Cross-carved stone is a carved stone monument of uncertain date located in Derry, Northern Ireland. The stone bears a cross carved into its surface, though the precise chronology and original context of the carving remain undetermined from available archaeological evidence. Such cross-carved stones occur across Ireland and Britain from the early medieval period onwards, and without secure dating evidence this example cannot be confidently assigned to a specific phase of Christian monument production. The stone's significance lies in its testimony to the tradition of cross-carving as a form of religious or commemorative expression in the region.
