What is recorded here

A fragment of a cross-slab (Wth 0.49m; H 0.47m), one of two fragments mounted on the outer face of the W wall of the Saint’s Graveyard (CL029-009030-) on Inis Cealtra, 13.6m from the N end (see CL019-009121-). Macalister (1916-17, 161, no. 78) described part of the stem of a three-line cross in a rectangular single-line frame with simple corner pieces, one of which remained. He also noted that the lines of the carving were clogged with cement. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 2 November 2015
