Brought to the Schoolhouse/OPW conservation store from Teach Molaise (SL001-001005-) in the Cashel (SL001-001001-) in 1989.
Worn slab (H: 0.775 m, W: 0.335 m, Th: 0.06) apparently trimmed to produce a stem, with a fully-encircled cross (0.321 m by 0.26 m) on its broader upper section whose vertical arms are marginally longer than its horizontal arms. The irregular ring comprises a single incised line, but the main motif is an outline cross with large wedge-shaped, convex-butted terminals formed from a continuous false relief strand. In each of the quadrants there was a diagonally-disposed incised, equal arm cross with cusped-butted serifs.
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.
