Cross-slab in Donaghmore (navan Lower By.)

Cross-slab

What is recorded here

Donaghmore preserves a tall sandstone slab where a faint ring and stem still emerge from the stone. The point is not grandeur; the point is continuity. A person cut or shaped that marker, others walked past it for generations, and the churchyard kept doing what churchyards do: holding the dead close to the living.
Within the graveyard (ME025-015003-) at Donaghmore. An upright sandstone (dims 0.56m x 0.22m; H 1.2m) with a pointed top has a lightly incised moulding on the edges of one face which also has the stem and the base of a ring (diam. 0.35m) represented by a slightly raised band (Wth 5cm) of incised lines.
