A recumbent cross-slab situated in the W half of the ‘Saint’s graveyard’ (CL029-009030-) on Inis Cealtra (15.45m from the S wall and 8.1m from the W wall). Noted by Macalister (1916-17, 160, no. 75) as of ‘twelfth-century type’ and described as a slab measuring 4ft (1.21m) by 1ft 6in (0.4m), with a Latin cross with hollowed angles. A stepped pattern runs down the sides of the stem, below the arms of the cross and the head is likewise stepped at the top. The central portion is in false relief.
