What is recorded here

Once a whole slab stood in the western half of the Saint's graveyard, but time or trouble broke it across the middle. The lower half vanished into the pile of worked stone beside the wall, leaving only the upper portion to mark the place. What remains is not a complete monument but a edge of memory, preserving the double-lined cross and hollowed angles that defined the whole.

Lying on the ground to the S of the OPW chalet on Iniscealtra, among other architectural fragments. A cross-slab depicted in the W half of the ‘Saint’s graveyard’ (CL029-009030-) on Macalister’s plan (1916-17, pl. XV) and described (ibid., 157, no. 56) as a cross-slab of ‘twelfth-century type’ 4ft 10in (1.47m) by 1ft 5in (0.43m) with a double-lined incised Latin cross with hollowed angles. The arms and head of the cross extended to the edges of the slab and at the base the lines bend outwards at 90 degrees and extend to the edge also. De Paor (List 2, SMR file) noted that during his time on the island the slab was in a pile of worked stone beside the wall of the Saint’s Graveyard. His drawing shows the slab as broken at a slight angle across the middle. Only the upper portion is now present (L 0.89m). Revised by: Mary Tunney Date of revision: 26 April 2016
