What is recorded here
Graveslab in Clonegall, County Carlow: one of two exceptionally weathered granite graveslabs, one bearing an incised cross. Rain and time have softened its edges until the cross floats like a shadow cut through stone. Whoever laid it there believed the mark would outlive memory, and perhaps it has.
One of two exceptionally weathered granite graveslabs (see also CW018-016004-). One with incised cross.
