Situated in the E half of the Saint’s graveyard (CL029-009030-) on Inis Cealtra, 3.3m from the E wall of Teampul na bhFear nGonta (CL029-009015-) and 2.05m from the N wall of the graveyard. A narrow slab (L 1.35m E-W; Wth at top 0.12m; Wth at base 0.1m) forming the N edge of a composite grave (CL029-009210-). The slab is drawn as a wider, undecorated and unnumbered slab on Macalister’s plan of the graveyard (1916-17, pl. XV). An inscription at the W end reads ‘+ OR DO THRESSACH +’ with a cross at the beginning and the end. At least one of the S's is reversed. A mortise-like hollow on the S face of the slab at the E end may be related to the construction of the composite grave.
