This graveslab is in the middle of a composite grave in the ‘Saint’s graveyard’ (CL029-009030-) on Inis Cealtra. This particular slab lies 3.05m from the N wall of the graveyard and 3.3m from the E wall of Teampul na bhFear nGonta (CL029-009015-). Noted by Macalister (1916-17, 154) as of ‘twelfth-century type’ the slab (L 1.45m; Wth 0.46m; T 0.06m) is broken into three large pieces with several smaller pieces missing. An inscription occurs on what is now the middle piece and it is incised in a single line along the long axis of the stone. The text is incomplete and reads ‘OR DO MACCU’. This is the only inscribed stone on the island that contains no cross (Macalister ibid.). (Okasha and Forsyth 2001, 61-4)
