The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in the graveyard (CL029-009012-) S of St. Caimin’s church (CL029-009011-) on Inis Cealtra, 4m S of the doorway linking this graveyard and the ‘Saint’s graveyard’ (CL029-009030-). An erect earthfast stone aligned N-S (H 0.84m; T 0.15; Wth at base 0.64m shouldered at the sides and narrowing to 0.34m at the top). The top of the stone is broken off. The W face has a central vertical carving (Wth 0.025m) comprising a rib flanked on each side by an incised line. The line extends 0.44m down from the broken top of the stone and may represent a cross shaft.
