A recumbent cross-slab situated in the W half of the ‘Saint’s Graveyard’ (CL029-009030-) on Inis Cealtra 22m from the S wall and 4.1m from the W wall and immediately W of ‘Teampul na bhFear nGonta’ (CL029-009015-). Noted by Macalister (1916-17, 159, no. 70) as ‘of twelfth-century date’ and described as an elaborately carved slab in which the Latin cross is ornamentally treated. It measures 6ft by 1ft 9in with a cross in double lines, open at the base. The angles are cut with hollowed double squares and the head is brought to a point. The ornamentation in the cantons suggests the wheel of a ‘celtic’ cross. (de Paor drawing, SMR file)
