Situated in the W half of the ‘Saint’s graveyard’ (CL029-009030-) on Inis Cealtra (14.3m from the S wall and 7.9m from the W wall). Noted by Macalister (1916-17, 156, no. 53) as of ‘twelfth-century type’. Described by Okasha and Forsyth (2001, 71-2) as a large recumbent cross-slab (H 0.91m; Wth 0.61m; T 0.04m) now broken and incomplete. The slab would have been c. 1.45m in length originally. All that remains is one large piece broken in two with an incised Latin cross with hollowed angles. Macalister (ibid., pl. XIX) shows the incised cross with an expanded base or platform with concave sides. There is an inscription, most of which is in a horizontal line across the top of the cross, with one letter inside the upper arm of the cross. The text is complete and reads: ‘OR D.. INGANE’. (Okasha and Forsyth 2001, 71-3)
