What is recorded here

Immediately inside the entrance to the ‘Saint’s graveyard’ (CL029-009030-) on Inis Cealtra (12.3m from the S wall and 2.8m from the W wall). A cross-slab noted by Macalister (1916-17, 155, no. 44) as of ‘twelfth-century type’ and described as a slab 5ft 1 1/2in (1.56m) by 1ft 9in (0.53m) with a plain Latin cross on a trapezoidal base with slightly hollowed sides and a groove on the base running parallel with its outline. The top of the base is in relief, sloping to the level of the background at the bottom. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 7 October 2015
