Graveslab in Inishcaltra OR Holy Island

Graveslab

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.
