What is recorded here
Inishcaltra is an island of saints and starlight, where a plain graveslab still lies in the southwest corner of the holy graveyard. It rests seven metres from the south wall and three from the west, small enough to be overlooked yet marked on Macalister’s plan. The absence of decoration does not diminish it; it reserves the chamber for the person whose name the sea and centuries have withheld.
Situated in the SW corner of the Saint’s graveyard (CL029-009030-) on Inis Cealtra, 7.3m from the S wall and 2.7m from the W wall. An undecorated recumbent graveslab (L 1.57m; Wth 0.59m) drawn but not numbered on Macalister’s plan of the graveyard (1916-17, pl. XV).
