What is recorded here

In An Gorta Dubha, a deeply incised cross barely rises above the soil, hiding its shape beneath grass and forgotten time. The stone has likely stood since the medieval period, marking a grave or boundary that no living person still names. It belongs to the many lost deaths of County Kerry, where faith and forgetting both carve into rock.

In 2010 a graveyard survey carried out by Laurence Dunne recorded the following details about a cross-inscribed stone no. 533: 'There were six small cross slabs recorded in Dunurlin in the course of this survey. One of the cross-slabs is modern (546), located beside the bench/patio area has a Chi-Rho inscribed on it. The fourth cross-slab (533) is also barely visible above the ground and has deeply incised cross partially visible' (Dunne 2010, 15).
