Graveslab

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). Compiled by: Paul Walsh and Padraig Clancy Revised upload on: 28 July 2018
Early Christian gravestone fragment, 7th–9th century; significant for its herringbone decoration typical of early Irish Christian art.
