Located in the ecclesiastical enclosure/cashel (SL001-001001-), lying within the men's cemetery (SL001-001029-) 3 m north of the W gable of Templemolaise church (SL001-001009-) Slab (L: 1.46 m, W: 0.63 m, Th: 0.12) with false relief ringed cross (0.998 m by 0.495 m). The false relief arms and shaft average 0.1 m wide and the latter terminates in a single axial cut at the base representing a skeuomorphic spike. The slightly irregular ring is formed from handle-shaped areas of false relief between each of the arms. The arms and shaft narrow within the ring to form pronounced arm-pits. 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. Date of upload: 12 March 2018
