What is recorded here

Situated in the E side of the ‘Saint’s graveyard’ (CL029-009030-) on Inis Cealtra (11.23m from the N wall and 6.05m from the E wall). Noted by Macalister (1916-17, 154, no. 38) as of ‘twelfth-century type’ and described as ‘a slab, 5ft 5in (1.65m) by 1ft 10in (0.55m); the long edges are rebated, the rebate being 5/8in (0.01m) deep and 2in (0.05m) broad. Plain Latin cross, …much worn and flaked.’ While the cross is no longer evident to the eye, faint traces of the uppermost arm and left arm of the cross were made out in a rubbing (pers. comm. Clíodhna O'Leary, 22 April 2016). Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 6 October 2015
