Cross-slab in Clonmore (rathvilly By.)

Cross-slab

What is recorded here

Clonmore castle still traps a church cross inside its passage roof, forcing every person to brush past sacred stone while leaving or entering. The slab likely traveled from Clonemore church, carrying prayer into a building made for control. That move turns the castle into a place where devotion and power share one narrow breath.
