What is recorded here

This cross-slab was first recorded in the 1880's in the graveyard (SL001-002007-) associated with Templemaman church (SL001-002001-); it is currently in the Schoolhouse /OPW conservation store. Slab fragment (H: 0.7 m, W: 0.16 m, Th: 0.05 m) with lower portion of broad shaft in false relief (0.25 m by 0.065 m). The shaft bifurcates near the base and the two strands curl outwards and upwards before terminating in small inward-facing lobes. A sub-triangular false relief feature with hollow base occupies the area where these strands separate. 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: 20 February 2018
