Graveslab in Inishcaltra OR Holy Island

Graveslab

What is recorded here

Breaks and seams are ordinary in Inishcaltra. The graveyard keeps its own shape after storms, and a graveslab in two parts may have belonged to that older order. Macalister drew it without number, perhaps because it resisted the claim of a single identity.
Situated in the W half of the Saint’s graveyard (CL029-009030-) on Inis Cealtra, 16.3m from the S wall and 2.9m from the W wall. An undecorated recumbent graveslab apparently in two pieces, the W portion (L 1.2m; Wth 0.45m) and the E portion (L 0.68m; Wth 0.42m) drawn but not numbered on Macalister’s plan of the graveyard (1916-17, pl. XV). Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 10 November 2015
