What is recorded here
Graveslab in Ballymore Eustace East stands in the SE corner of a graveyard, a gently tapering granite slab rising 1.1m from the earth. Rain has worn its incised Latin cross into a ghost, yet the stone still points east as if waiting for light. It is the kind of marker that does not explain itself; it simply refuses to leave, holding a name the wind has already taken.
In the SE corner of a graveyard (KD029-011004-). An erect, earthfast, gently tapering, granite slab (dims. H 1.1m; Wth 0.46-0.52m; T 0.20m) carries an incised, but very weathered Latin cross on its E face. (Corlett 2003, 89, 90 Slab 7)
