Graveslab in Castledermot

Graveslab

What is recorded here

Graveslab in Castledermot stands in the northeast graveyard corner, a low tapering granite slab bearing a Latin cross with expanded terminals and a small incised circle at its heart. The stone is short enough to bend beside, yet its cross reaches upward, marking death and promise in one gesture. Whoever cut it worked slowly, chasing a clean line through hard granite. That patience still shows in the sharp edge of the cross and the quiet dignity of the corner.
In the NE corner of the graveyard (KD040-002031-). A low, upright, very gently tapering, granite slab (dims. H 0.45m; Wth 0.34-36m; T 0.10m) carry's an incised Latin cross with expanded terminals. At the intersection of arms and shaft is an incised circle (diam. 0.05m). (Bradley et al. 1986, vol. 2, 102; Corlett 2003 93-94 Slab 3) Date of upload: 8 September 2016
