What is recorded here
Graveslab in Ballyman embeds a broken memorial slab into the east gable aumbry of the church. The surviving fragment measures thirty-eight centimetres long and twenty-eight centimetres wide, bearing a central band and herringbone pattern that once marked a dead person but now helps build the living chapel.
An aumbry in the S end of E gable of the church (DU028-026002-) is partly formed by a graveslab fragment (L 0.38m, Wth 0.28m). The slab bears a central band and herringbone pattern (Ó hÉailidhe 1957, 78, 83).
