Graveslab in Inishcaltra OR Holy Island

Graveslab

What is recorded here

Inishcaltra is a small island in County Clare where a plain graveslab still lies in the western half of the Saint’s graveyard. The stone measures 1.2m long and 0.64m wide, resting 20.3m from the south wall and 3m from the west wall. It has no carving, no name and no number, yet it marks the kind of quiet certainty that graveyards keep: someone lived, died and was remembered enough to be laid beneath stone.
Situated in the W half of the Saint’s graveyard (CL029-009030-) on Inis Cealtra, 20.3m from the S wall and 3m from the W wall. An undecorated recumbent graveslab (L 1.2m; Wth 0.64m) 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
