What is recorded here

Cross-slab in Inishmurray is a cross-slab in Inishmurray, County Sligo, Ireland. The SMR file identifies a cross-slab on the outer cairn, but no earlier authority describes a crossslab in this position and none was found in association with the cairn when it was archaeologically excavated in 1997. The field report by Markus Casey in 1994 describes a plain cross-slab, but this was probably a blank stone placed on the cairn in modern times.

The SMR file identifies a cross-slab on the outer cairn, but no earlier authority describes a crossslab in this position and none was found in association with the cairn when it was archaeologically excavated in 1997 (O’Sullivan & James 1998). The field report by Markus Casey in 1994 (SMR file) describes a ‘plain’ cross-slab, but this was probably a blank stone placed on the cairn in modern times. The above description is derived from the results of a survey of the archaeological monuments on Inishmurray undertaken in 1997-1999 and published in: Jerry O’Sullivan and Tomás Ó Carragáin 2008 Inishmurrary.
