Located on the ground against the N wall of the nave of St. Caimin’s church (CL029-009011-) on Inis Cealtra and 5.78m from the W gable. The lower portion (Wth 0.49m; H 0.53m) of an elaborately decorated graveslab noted as 14th-century by Macalister (1916-17, 163). The slab was broken into three portions. The middle portion (Wth 0.43m; H 0.5m; T 0.4m) is mounted beside another graveslab fragment (CL029-009113-) on the wall near the entrance to the Saint’s graveyard (CL029-009012-). The upper portion is now missing. The surface of the slab was divided longitudinally into two panels, each containing a floral pattern and there was no cross. Macalister noted (ibid., 164) that while one portion was against the wall of the nave, two portions were on the floor marking modern graves and several other pieces were missing. (Macalister 1916, 163-4, no. 86 and Plate XXIV; de Paor, drawing SMR file)
