A recumbent cross-slab situated near the centre of the ‘Saint’s graveyard’ (CL029-009030-) on Inis Cealtra (13.7m from the S wall and 8.5m from the W wall). Noted by Macalister (1916-17, 158, no. 66) as of ‘twelfth-century type’. Described by Okasha and Forsyth (2001, 85-7) as a large cross-slab (H 1.77m; Wth 0.52m; T 0.6m). The face is incised with an outline Latin cross with hollowed angles. The lower part is much worn. Macalister drew a triangular base and two horizontal lines running from each side of the cross, just above the base to the edges of the stone. These are no longer evident. An incomplete inscription in one vertical line down the shaft of the cross reads ‘OR[-]DOMNALL’. The horizontal lines mentioned above are evident in a rubbing (pers. comm. Clíodhna O'Leary, 22 April 2016).
