What is recorded here

Rathcline Church collapsed before human memory, yet its graveyard still holds a 1650 marker for R.F. and V.F. and a weathered cross shaft near Michael Costello’s 1933 stone. The church is gone except for ruins and story, but the graves remain readable enough to prove that people loved, marked and returned there across centuries.
