What is recorded here

O’Carragáin identified the slab as a possible church threshold in 2000, yet it still lies buried beneath graveyard soil. A threshold invites entry, but burial denies that invitation. The dead may have walked across it for generations before anyone remembered its shape. Forgetting is not loss when the stone continues holding the boundary between living and dead.

In a graveyard (KD028-049011-). Bradley et al. (1986 vol. 4, 395) mentions a possible graveslab, described in the Dublin Penny Journal (iv, no. 185, Jan. 1836, 229) as a tapering slab with a hole at either end, and measuring 6’ (c. 1.83m) by 2’ 2” (c. 0.66m), that was not located. This may, however, be the slab subsequently noted by O’Carragáin in 2000 (pers. comm.) as a possible threshold stone at the medieval church (KD028-049005-).
