Not listed in the SMR (1992) or the 1996 RMP. This record is for the original location of a cross-slab that according to Macalister (1916-17, 151, no. 21, and plate XVI) was on the N wall of the chancel of St. Caimin's church (CL029-009011-), on Inis Cealtra (Holy Island), Co. Clare. It was noted by de Paor in the 1970s (SMR file) on the S wall of the nave of the church. It is now in the OPW depot in Athenry, Co. Galway where it has SMR number (GA084-151006-). Macalister (ibid.) described the slab as of 'Eighth-century type'... ‘A stone, measuring 1 foot 7 inches by 1 foot 1 inch by 3 inches [0.48m by 0.33m by 0.07m]. Within a circle of two lines, a cross formed of four arcs of circles, interlacing at the intersection; the ends of the arcs are terminated with a spiral treatment. In the cantons are triskeles of one line.’
