Graveslab

What is recorded here

Graveslab in Ballycallan stands at the NE end of the graveyard, east of a modern Celtic cross dedicated to Patrick Phelan. Its lower portion protrudes above the ground, decorated with an incised cross-shaft and fleur-de-lis terminal. One of four slabs noted by Carrigan in 1905, it likely dates from the 13th or 14th century, marking a burial associated with the medieval church of Ballycallan.
