What is recorded here

On display in Clare Museum, Ennis. A small irregularly shaped piece of sandstone (H 0.33m; Wth 0.14m; T 0.05m) with an incised ringed cross occupying the full width at the top (most of the upper portion of the cross is broken off). Originally from Inis Cealtra. See original location record (CL029-009038-). CL033-181----_01.jpg attached. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 22 October 2014
Likely dating to the early medieval period (5th–10th century), the ringed cross suggests a Christian context, possibly used as a marker or devotional object. Such stones are often associated with early monastic or ecclesiastical sites, though local folklore may also link them to protective or sacred functions.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
