What is recorded here
Clear water lap on both sides, a small island church in Clare. The cross slab lies loose beside the nave wall, not buried or forgotten. Its pattée cross, circle, ovals and trefoils still mark the stone as an eighth-century Christian symbol.
Located on the ground (loose) against the S wall of the nave of St. Caimin’s church (CL029-009011-) and 0.43m from the E end. Noted by Macalister (1916-17, 152, no. 22) as of 'eighth-century type' and described as a ‘stone 1ft 5in (0.43m) by 1ft 7in (0.48m) by 2in (0.05m), bearing a cross ‘pattée’ in a circle; ovals at the ends of the arms of the cross, and trefoils in the cantons.’
