Situated in a small clearing in a very overgrown area close to the site of St. Michael’s church (CL029-009004-) on Inis Cealtra. A flat boulder with a smooth, trapezoidal shaped, upper face (max. L 1.25m; max. Wth at E 1m; Wth at W 0.43m; traceable H 0.38m). According to the OS Letters (O’Flanagan 1927, vol. 2, 228), pilgrims went ‘7 times round a large flag stone [at St. Michael’s garden]….on which they finally (i.e.after having gone round it 7 times) impressed kisses.’ The way into the clearing had been recently opened as there had been a gathering on the island for Mass. A stone step (Wth 1.65m) adjacent to the stone may have been associated with St. Michael's church.
