Situated close to Teampul na bhFear nGonta (CL029-009015-) in the ‘Saint’s graveyard’ (CL029-009030-) on Inis Cealtra 18.9m from the S wall and 10.6m from the W wall. A cross-slab noted by Macalister (1916-17, 154, no. 37) as a ‘twelfth-century type’ and described as ‘a slab, now 3ft 5in (1.04m) by 1ft 7in (0.48m), but the bottom is broken away, carrying with it the lower end of the cross.’ Macalister describes this slab as ‘similar to the preceding’ which is no. 36 (CL029-009072-) which has a plain Latin cross of two lines.
