Mounted high on the S wall of the nave of St. Caimin’s church (CL029-009011-) on Inis Cealtra and 7.82m from the E end. A slab described by Macalister (1916-17, 166-7, no. 89) as a slab (2ft 6.5in (0.77m) by 2ft (0.6m)) bearing three lions passant surrounded by a mantling in the form of floral scrolls. The date 1703 is in the two upper corners and at the base is an inscription which reads: ‘VULNERATUS NON VICTUS IA GRADY REPAIRED THOS CHVRCHES AND MOWMENT (sic) TO THE GRACEC (sic) AND GLORIE OF GOD’. A chest-tomb slab (CL029-009125-) also against the S wall of the nave may have formed part of a tomb associated with the wall monument. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 3 November 2015
