What is recorded here

Mounted in an inverted position against the S wall of the nave of St. Caimin’s church (CL029-009011-) on Inis Cealtra and 2.88m from the E end. A cross-slab (H 0.51m; Wth 0.33m; T 0.06m) found during excavations in 1970-72. The slab bears an outline Latin cross with square expanded terminals and a square at the centre enclosed in a double-lined frame. The text, in two lines in the upper quadrant reads ‘FLA[ITH] BERTACH’. The same name occurs on another cross-slab (CL029-009088-) in St. Caimin’s church.
