What is recorded here

Inishcaltra is a small Clare island where St. Caimin’s church still stands beside the sea. A tall sandstone cross base once fitted into a rectangular socket at the south wall of the nave, its tapering block made for a shaft now lost. The base survives in the OPW chalet, preserving the shape of what was removed rather than the whole cross itself.

This stone was noted by Macalister (1916-17, 145, no. 6) at the S wall of the nave of St. Caimin’s church (CL029-009011-) on Inis Cealtra; it is now located in the OPW chalet on the island. The base of a cross comprising a tall sandstone block (H 0.34m; Wth 0.22m at base tapering to 0.17m at top). A rectangular socket (0.09m x 0.06m; D 0.05m) with sloping sides is at the top.
