Graveslab

What is recorded here

Graveslab in Ballymore Eustace East stands immediately south of the west gable of medieval church ruins, its tapering granite body gripping the earth beside a forgotten graveyard. The incised Latin cross on its east face catches low light, marking a boundary between the living and the dead long before written names arrived. It is not a monument to pride but a quiet witness, holding the shape of grief and faith in stone.
