What is recorded here

Mounted against the S wall of the nave of St. Caimin’s church (CL029-009011-) on Inis Cealtra and 4.55m from the E end. A possible chest-tomb slab (Wth 1.29m; H 0.78m; T 0.1m) dated by Macalister (1916-17, 167, no. 90) to between 1680 and 1750. It bears the letters 'IHS' surmounted by a cross within a rectangular panel with the two upper corners cut off obliquely. This slab may have been associated with the wall monument (CL029-009124-) higher up on the S wall. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 3 November 2015
