Incorporated into the E window of an abbey church (KE066-072001-). A small yellow sandstone slab (dims. 0.26m x 0.15m) with an incised cross-in-circle motif, now damaged. The linear cross (H c. 0.10m) has wedge-shaped terminals. One horizontal arm survives (L 0.05m) and it was probably an equal-armed cross originally. Part of an inscription is visible beneath the motif, though not decipherable. Comparable in size and style to the Latteragh, Kilell and Conwall slabs (Kelly 1988,) and this example at Innisfallen is closely linked with similarly inscribed slabs at Clonmacnoise, Cloghinch and Inishmore. Possibly 8th-century in date and, by virtue of its size, may have been placed with the burial (Kelly ibid.). The cross was first recorded in 1995 and its original location is not known. (Weaver 1995)
