What is recorded here

Graveslab in Callan South lies flat in the middle of St Mary’s church, a broken limestone slab with a cross carved on its surface. It is not displayed like a trophy or hidden in a drawer; it remains where foot traffic passes, wearing its edges and inviting people to imagine whose life it marked. The faint lettering along one side refuses to give that name back, leaving the dead person neither forgotten nor fully known.

Lying prostrate in the centre of the nave of St Mary’s church (KK026-010012-), Callan. The lower portion of a limestone slab (L 1.01m; Wth 0.68m; min. T 0.06m), of which the border on the sinister side is also missing. The dexter side is straight sided while the bottom is chamfered along the top edge. It is decorated with an incised cross-shaft which terminates on a stepped base. There is faint lettering visible along the dexter border but it is not legible.
