Graveslab in Inishcaltra OR Holy Island

Graveslab

What is recorded here

Inishcaltra is a small island graveyard where an undecorated graveslab still lies flat in the western half, near the south and west walls. The stone measures about 1.64m long and 0.62m wide, large enough for one person but plain enough to belong to anyone. It may have marked a saint, a sailor, a child or a forgotten worker, yet it has stayed put through tide, wind and centuries of footsteps.
Situated in the W half of the Saint’s graveyard (CL029-009030-) on Inis Cealtra, 11.3m from the S wall and 3m from the W wall. An undecorated recumbent graveslab (L 1.64m; Wth 0.62m) drawn but not numbered on Macalister’s plan of the graveyard (1916-17, pl. XV). Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 9 November 2015
