Graveslab in Ballynadrumny

Graveslab

What is recorded here

Graveslab in Ballynadrumny holds two Thomas Ashe names on one stone, the first from a possible 17th century burial and the second dated 1792. The change in lettering suggests different hands, different times, and a family returning to the same church. That repetition turns a quiet slab into a record of memory itself.
A possible 17th century graveslab which, together with a 16th century graveslab (KD003-019003-), is located in a church (KD003-019001-). It bears two inscriptions; the earlier, but undated one records the burial of a Thomas Ashe and was thought by Fitzgerald (1899-1902,134) to be of 17th century date, while the second inscription, in different lettering, commemorates another Thomas Ashe and is dated 1792.
