What is recorded here
Inishcaltra is a small Clare island where a forgotten graveslab still stands outside the east wall of Teampul na bhFear nGonta. Its cross rises in relief with hollowed angles and squared terminals, marking a burial that even Macalister drew but never named. The island keeps its dead close to stone, charm and Church, as if remembering were still a daily act.
Situated immediately outside the E wall of Teampul na bhFear nGonta (CL029-009015-) and 6.98m from the N wall of the ‘Saint’s graveyard’ (CL029-009030-) on Inis Cealtra. A graveslab (L 0.6m E-W; Wth 0.46m) drawn but not numbered on Macalister’s plan of the graveyard (1916-17, pl. XV). Although not numbered or described by Macalister, this slab has a cross in relief with hollowed angles and expanded and squared terminals.
