What is recorded here

One slab still stands in Tipperkevin Church, its parallel lines marking the lost shaft of a cross. The other two vanished after the church interior was dug out, perhaps pulled away for wall building or forgotten under new stone. What remains is not a complete monument but a witness: granite that resisted time, recorded by Healy in 1985, and reduced by later hands to the least they could discard.

In 1985, Healy (SMR file) recorded three cross-slabs in Tipperkevin Church (KD024-020----): 'A' (KD024-020002-) a fine tapered slab of granite (L 1.83m; Wth 0.42-0.53m) with an incised Greek cross with expanded arms. 'B' (KD024-020003-) a large tapered slab of granite slab of granite (L 1.9m; Wth 0.6-0.77m) decorated with a single shaft with ringed cross at each end, in relief. 'C' (KD024-020004-) the lower portions of a granite slab (min. L. 1.04m; max. Wth. 0.42m ), with two parallel incised lines representing the shaft of a cross. Two of the slabs, (KD024-020002- and KD024-020004-) were subsequently published (Healy 2009, 101, 104-5). Only one cross slab (KD024-020004-) was located on a 1986 visit when the interior of the church appeared to have been recently dug out (SMR file). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 2012
