What is recorded here

Inishcaltra is a tiny island off County Clare where St. Caimin’s church still stands. A broken cross-shaft fragment leans against the south nave wall, its roll-moulding edge surviving while the rest vanished. Macalister drew it decades ago, but the island keeps more of its story buried beneath grass and tide. What remains is small enough to touch, yet heavy with every prayer spoken beside it.

Situated against the S wall of the nave of St. Caimin’s church (CL029-009011-) and 2m from the E end. A fragment of a possible cross-shaft (H 0.32m; Wth 0.29m) with a roll-moulding at one edge. Although uncertain this may be a portion of a fragment of a cross (CL029-009114-) described and illustrated by Macalister (1916-17, 161, no. 79).
