Macalister (1916-17, 151, no. 21, and plate XVI) recorded this cross-slab on the N wall of the chancel of St Caimin's Church (CL029-009011-), on Inis Cealtra (Holy Island), Co. Clare. He described it as being of 'Eight-century type' and it measured '1 foot 7 inches by 1 foot 1 inch by 3 inches [0.48m by 0.33m by 0.07m]. Within a circle of two lines, a cross formed of four arcs of circles, with interlacing at the intersection, was visible. The ends of the arcs terminated with a spiral treatment and within the cantons were triskeles of one line. When de Paor recorded the slab in the 1970s (SMR file), it was on the S wall of the nave of the church. It is currently in the OPW depot in Athenry, Co. Galway. See CL029-009032- for original location.
