What is recorded here

A recumbent cross-slab situated in the SW corner of the ‘Saint’s graveyard’ (CL029-009030-) on Inis Cealtra (5.3m from the S wall and 2.7m from the W wall). Noted by Macalister (1916-17, 160, no. 76) as of ‘twelfth-century type’ and described as a slab measuring 6ft 8in (2m) by 2ft 3.5in (0.69m), tapering to 2ft 1in (0.63m) with a Latin cross of double lines with hollowed angles. The base of the stone and the whole background is covered with an ornament of squares and crosses but is much worn.
