A recumbent cross-slab situated in the E half of the ‘Saint’s graveyard’ (CL029-009030-) on Inis Cealtra (11.65m from the N wall and 2m from the E wall). Noted by Macalister (1916-17, 158, no. 64) as of ‘twelfth-century type’ and described as a slab measuring 4ft 2in (1.27m) by 1ft 6in (0.45m), with a Latin cross in double lines with hollowed angles and a rectangular base. Under the base is a pattern comprising an inverted triangle flanked with series of oblique lines. The pattern is not centred to the cross.
