What is recorded here

Double outline cross with circular centre and the name LLINICANER ADINLECSA on the left side. Petrie drew it at Clonmacnoise in 1822, then it vanished. What remains is a shadow of a cross, holding a life that stopped being visible when the stone did.

Clonmacnoise grave-slab inventory (1992) number: CLN00262 Dimensions: Unknown. Double outline cross with circular centre. Inscription: 'OR DO UO M….LLINICANER ADINLECSA' runs down the left side of the cross. Evidence of discovery: Drawn by Petrie at Clonmacnoise in 1822. Condition: Lost after 1822. Stokes, M. (1878) Christian Inscriptions in the Irish language, Vol 1, p LXIX, no. 165. The Clonmacnoise inventory was compiled by the Office of Public Works. A copy of the record for this slab is available for inspection in the relevant Archaeological Survey of Ireland (SMR) file. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 23 May 2011

Date likely to the 9th–10th century AD, based on the style of the high crosses common in early Christian Ireland. The inscription appears to be a personal dedication, possibly in Old Irish, suggesting a Christian funerary or commemorative function.
