What is recorded here
Graveslab in Ballycallan stands among four medieval slabs noted by Carrigan in 1905, dating from the 13th or 14th century beside the old church. They mark buried lives from before written records reached the village, their shapes worn by rain and time. The stones do not speak, but they hold the weight of forgotten prayers and the patience of death itself.
Associated with the medieval church (KK018-072001-) of Ballycallan and situated in the graveyard (KK018-072002-). One of four taping graveslabs (KK018-072004-; KK018-072005-; KK018-072006-; KK018-072007-) noted by Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 442) which appear to date from the 13th/14th century.
