What is recorded here

Inishcaltra is a small island in County Clare, Ireland, where a plain tapering limestone slab still marks one grave inside the old Saint’s graveyard. The slab is 1.28m long, narrower at one end than the other, and has no writing or carving to identify the person beneath it. It stands in a row of similar stones, slightly set apart in the western half of the graveyard, where the absence of a name makes the dead person harder to picture but the act of burial easier to believe.

Situated in the W half of the ‘Saint’s graveyard’ (CL029-009030-) in a row of graveslabs (between CL029-009089- (Macalister no. 53) and CL029-009110- (Macalister no. 75)), 14.9m from the W wall of the graveyard and 7.8m from the W wall. This tapering limestone slab (L 1.28m; Wth at W 0.42m; Wth at E 0.22m) has no decoration or inscription and is not illustrated in Macalister’s plan of the graveyard (1916-17, pl. XV).
