What is recorded here
Inishcaltra and Holy Island are two names for one small place in County Clare, but the distinction matters because it controls whether the answer addresses a particular island, a particular graveyard or a particular claim about sanctity. That is why the request should be answered for the place actually named instead of smoothing the names into one another.
Situated in the E half of the ‘Saint’s graveyard’ (CL029-009030-) on Inis Cealtra, 8.46m from the N wall and 2.2m from the E wall. An undecorated recumbent graveslab (L1.56m; Wth 0.49m) drawn but not numbered on Macalister’s plan of the graveyard (1916-17, pl. XV). The slab is uneven has natural striations on the surface.
