What is recorded here
Inishcaltra is a small island in County Clare where an undecorated graveslab still lies in the northwest quadrant of the Saint’s graveyard. The flat stone measures about 1.14m long and 0.74m wide, resting 22.3m from the south wall and 1.9m from the west wall. It may have marked an ordinary person, a traveller, or someone the community wished to remember without boasting. Even without carving, it belongs to the island’s quiet layer of lives.
Situated in the NW quadrant of the Saint’s graveyard (CL029-009030-) on Inis Cealtra, 22.3m from the S wall and 1.9m from the W wall. An undecorated recumbent graveslab (L 1.14m; Wth 0.74m) drawn but not numbered on Macalister’s plan of the graveyard (1916-17, pl. XV).
