What is recorded here

Located in the ecclesiastical enclosure/cashel (SL001-001001-), standing 3 m south of Teach Molaise (SL001-001005-). Slab (H: 0.925 m, W: 0.48 m, Th: 0.06 m) broken at one end. Carved roughly along the slab axis are three small, well spaced, equal armed crosses measuring 0.179 m by 0.152 m, 0.148 m by 0.147 m, and 0.15 m by 0.143 m, each defined by a thin false relief strand. This slab may be a recumbent grave slab or perhaps an element in a composite structure. 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
