The National Monuments Service's description
Situated c. 0.88m outside the S wall of St. Mary’s Church (CL029-009008-) on Inis Cealtra. A large recumbent sandstone graveslab (L 1.37m; Wth 0.45m) with a straight W side and uneven shape elsewhere. The surface of the slab is also very uneven and has a ‘humped’ shape and no visible markings. It is not clear that this is an early graveslab.
