Located within a graveyard (DG064-003001-) which encloses two medieval churches, St Mary’s (DG064-003002-) and St. Connell’s (DG064-003006-), a fragment of a high cross (DG064-003008-), four cross slabs (DG064-003004-; DG064-003005-; DG064-0030009-; DG064-003010-) and a graveslab (DG064-003007-). Another cross-slab (DG064-003003-) is now missing. This complex of monuments, a National Monument in state ownership (No. 658), is located on the E side of Inishkeel Island in good pasture land. This small island which lies in a sheltered spot c. 500m offshore is accessible on foot at low tide.
This record refers to a cross-slab known to have been on Inishkeel in 1932, when it was photographed by Henry Wheeler. Its current whereabouts are unknown. It consisted of a broken slab, roughly square in shape (c. 0.3m by c. 0.3m; T c. 0.07m) with an incised cross with decorative expanded terminals on one face, and on the opposing face, a possible cross consisting of an interlace design expanding from three parallel grooves (Lacy et al. 1983, 271, plates 45 & 46).
