Graveslab in Inishcaltra OR Holy Island

Graveslab

What is recorded here

Graveslab in Inishcaltra OR Holy Island is a small undecorated stone lying in the eastern half of the Saint’s graveyard on Inis Cealtra. It measures 0.81m long and 0.39m wide, with an uneven surface partly hidden by grass. Macalister drew it on his graveyard plan in 1916-17 but never numbered it, leaving the occupant unnamed. The stone still holds its shape beside the chamber walls, waiting for the story that never reached the surveyor’s pencil.
