The National Monuments Service's description
A recumbent graveslab (L 1.17m; Wth 0.28m), one of four slabs on the floor of ‘Teampul na bhFear nGonta’ (CL029-009015-) (see also CL029-009104-, CL029-009160- and CL029-009162-) in the ‘Saint’s graveyard’ (CL029-009030-) on Inis Cealtra. The slab is drawn but not numbered on Macalister’s plan of the graveyard (1916-17, pl. XV). This may be a reused architectural fragment as there is incised rope moulding running along the N side of the slab. A second smaller stone to the W has similar moulding but is not recorded as a graveslab by Macalister.
