What is recorded here

Situated in the NE quadrant of the ‘Saint’s graveyard’ (CL029-009030-) on Inis Cealtra (11.52m from the N wall and 4.06m from the E wall). Noted by Macalister (1916-17, 156, no. 51) as of ‘twelfth-century type’ and described as a slab measuring 5ft 6in (1.67m) by 1ft 10in (0.55m), tapering down to 1ft 5in (0.43m), with a Latin cross with hollowed angles and the lower shaft angled outwards to form a base. A 2in (0.05m) rebate extends down the long sides and Macalister describes the slab as slightly hog-backed. (de Paor drawing, SMR file) Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 22 October 2015
