What is recorded here

Cross-slab in Inishmurray is a cross-slab in Inishmurray, County Sligo, Ireland. Wakeman recorded a rude slab rising from the leacht at Ollamurray in 1886, believing it probably exhibited an incised cross though no trace remained visible then. No slab stood on the altar during the 1998 survey and no sculpture emerged from the 2000 excavation.

Recorded by Wakeman (1886, 302) as a 'rude slab' rising from the leacht (SL001-005002-) at Ollamurray which 'at one time probably exhibited an incised cross, of which not a trace, at present, can be discerned.' No slab stood on the altar when it was surveyed in 1998 and no sculpture was recovered during the archaeological excavation of the site in 2000. The above description is derived from the results of a programme of survey and excavation of the archaeological monuments on Inishmurray undertaken in 1997-2000 and published in: Jerry O’Sullivan and Tomás Ó Carragáin 2008 Inishmurrary.
