What is recorded here

Inishcaltra Holy Island: A recumbent cross-slab lies in the eastern half of the Saint’s graveyard, its double-lined Latin cross and off-centre triangle still visible after centuries. The chamber is small, the stone shallow, and the pattern seems to lean rather than balance. Perhaps a craftsman worked quickly for a person who mattered more than perfection.

A recumbent cross-slab situated in the E half of the ‘Saint’s graveyard’ (CL029-009030-) on Inis Cealtra (11.65m from the N wall and 2m from the E wall). Noted by Macalister (1916-17, 158, no. 64) as of ‘twelfth-century type’ and described as a slab measuring 4ft 2in (1.27m) by 1ft 6in (0.45m), with a Latin cross in double lines with hollowed angles and a rectangular base. Under the base is a pattern comprising an inverted triangle flanked with series of oblique lines. The pattern is not centred to the cross.
