Stone trough in Inishmurray

Located at the SW corner of Templemolaise church (SL001-001009-). Shallow (depth 50 mm), flat-based, rectilinear basin with a concave underside, rounded corners, and a flat rim (H 0.93 m, W 0.63 m, T 0.2 m). It is broken off abruptly at one end. Roughly centrally positioned on the inner base of the basin is a shallowly incised cross (0.195 by 0.125) with rounded terminals. This lies immediately adjacent to a very fine cross-inscribed pillar (SL001-001026-) with which it may have had a particular association in antiquity. 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.
