Graveslab in Carnew

In the S sector of the Church of Ireland graveyard. A large, upright, gently tapering, granite slab (H 1.2m; Wth at top 0.5m; Wth at base 0.39m; T 0.24) is likely to have been recumbent originally. The present E-face is dressed and features a cross, carved in relief, with splayed arms, head and shaft (H 0.44m; Wth 0.275m). The W-face is undressed.

A recumbent stone from the Bronze Age, possibly part of a megalithic tomb structure; its significance lies in providing insight into prehistoric funerary practices in the region.
