Recorded by Wakeman (1886, 302) as a 'rude slab' rising from the leacht (SL001-005002-) at Ollamurray which 'at one time probably exhibited an incised cross, of which not a trace, at present, can be discerned.'
No slab stood on the altar when it was surveyed in 1998 and no sculpture was recovered during the archaeological excavation of the site in 2000.
The above description is derived from the results of a programme of survey and excavation of the archaeological monuments on Inishmurray undertaken in 1997-2000 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.
