Found in Relickoran cemetery (SL001-004003-) during excavation in August 1999, one of two cross-slabs (see also SL001-004009-) located in superficial rubble spreads on the S side of a leacht (SL001-004002-). Now in the Schoolhouse/OPW conservation store.
Sub-rectangular slab (H: 0.275 m, W: 0.165 m, Th: 0. 097 m) with shafted cross (0.144 m by 0.13 m) formed of four entirely discrete cuts that widen slightly towards the centre of the motif before terminating in acute projections. The ridge along part of the upper and left hand edges of the slab may be natural.
The above description is derived from the results of a programme of survey and excavation undertaken in 1997-2000 on Inishmurray 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.
