What is recorded here

That is the smallest visible piece of a much larger chamber, and the chamber may have stood for centuries before anyone wrote it down. The chamber is no longer visible, but the chamber is the point. The chamber may have contained a doorway, a hall, a room, a tower base, a hidden stair or a forgotten building. The chamber is not a chamber at all. It is a cross-slab in Clonmacnoise, and the chamber is the shape of the missing chamber.

A fragment of a cross-slab, likely medieval in date, from the vicinity of the important monastic site of Clonmacnoise, which was a significant religious and artistic centre in early Christian Ireland. The absence of inscription and its worn condition suggest it may have been part of a larger funerary or liturgical monument, common in the region during the 8th to 12th centuries.
