Graveslab in Inishcaltra OR Holy Island

Graveslab

What is recorded here

Inishcaltra is a small island graveyard where one plain stone lies in the western half, close to the walls. The unmarked slab may have covered a saint, a sailor, or a child whose name the sea took. Its simplicity does not diminish it; it invites wonder about who rested there and what they valued.
Situated in the W half of the Saint’s graveyard (CL029-009030-) on Inis Cealtra, 19.7m from the S wall and 8.2m from the W wall. An undecorated recumbent graveslab (L 1.21m; Wth 0.48m) drawn but not numbered on Macalister’s plan of the graveyard (1916-17, pl. XV). Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 11 November 2015
