What is recorded here

In Castledermot, a tapering granite slab lies recumbent in the graveyard north-west of the modern church. Its incised Latin cross still marks the stone, though the hands that cut it and the names they honoured have dissolved into centuries of rain and forgetting. The slab remains a quiet witness, holding the shape of devotion long after the words of prayer have vanished.

Date likely to the early medieval period (7th–10th century), associated with the spread of Christianity in Ireland. The Latin cross suggests a funerary or commemorative function, possibly marking a Christian burial within the graveyard.
