Formerly located on a leacht (SL001-001021-), in the E half of an ecclesiastical enclosure (SL001-001001-), this cross-slab was removed in 1989 to the Schoolhouse/OPW conservation store.
Rectangular slab the lower portion of which has been narrowed to form a stem (H: 0.655 m W: 0.41>0.205 m, Th: 0.07 m). On it is an incised shafted cross (0.385 m by 0.295 m) which is embellished with two slightly ovoid concentric circles, the outer of which (Radius: 0.123 m) coincides with the terminals of the upper arms. The shaft extends 0.09 m beyond the outer circle and terminates with a plain bar 0.113 m long.
The above description is derived from the results of a survey of the archaeological monuments on Inishmurray undertaken in 1997-1999 and published in:
Jerry O’Sullivan and Tomás Ó Carragáin 2008 Inishmurrary. Monks and pilgrims in an Atlantic landscape. Volume 1: Archaeological Survey and Excavations 1997-2000. Cork. The Collins Press.
