What is recorded here

Inishcaltra is a holy island in County Clare where a shallow cross-base still holds the ghost of a lost shrine. The small stone sits at the head of a graveyard slab, waiting for a wooden beam that time has taken. It is not a monument to pride but a socket for memory, marking the exact spot where faith once stood before the sea and years erased it.

Located at the head of a cross-slab (CL029-009111-) in the ‘Saint’s graveyard’ (CL029-009030-) on Inis Cealtra. A cross-base (H 0.2m) with a rectangular base (L 0.3m; Wth 0.25m) tapering gently to a square upper surface (L 0.2m; Wth 0.2m) which contains a shallow rectangular mortise (L 0.12m; Wth 9cm; D 0.05cm).
