Cross-slab (present location) in Inishmurray is a cross-slab (present location) in Inishmurray, County Sligo, Ireland. The slab fragment measures 0.762 m high and 0.315 m wide. It holds one almost complete and one fragmentary encircled cross, each 0.375 m across and spaced 0.125 m apart.
Brought to the Schoolhouse/OPW conservation store from Teach Molaise (SL001-001005-) in the Cashel (SL001-001001-) in 1989. Slab fragment (H: 0.762 m, W: 0.315 m, Th: 0.045) filled by one almost complete (c. 95%) and one almost identical but fragmentary (c. 40%) encircled cross of arcs (Diam: 0.375 m), spaced 0.125 m from each other. They are defined by eye-shaped incisions and a false relief encircling strand. The above description is derived from the results of a survey of the archaeological monuments on Inishmurray undertaken in 1997-1999 and published in: Jerry O’Sullivan and Tomás Ó Carragáin 2008 Inishmurrary. Monks and pilgrims in an Atlantic landscape. Volume 1: Archaeological Survey and Excavations 1997-2000. Cork. The Collins Press. Date of upload: 12 March 2018
