What is recorded here

Graveslab in Coolaghmore holds four coffin-shaped slabs, some bearing raised crosses and dating from the 13th or 14th century. They lie scattered within an irregular graveyard beside a multiperiod church, depriving death itself of a clear boundary. One slab is so small it could cover a child or a forgotten servant, reminding that even grave markers shrink when identity leaves them behind.

Within an irregularly shaped graveyard (KK030-004003-) associated with a multiperiod church (KK030-004001-). Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 336) mentions 'two uninscribed coffin-shaped slabs [KK030-004010- and KK030-004011-], with raised crosses' of 13th/14th century date in the graveyard, which appear to be in addition to the two graveslabs (KK030-004004- and KK030-004009-) identified during fieldwork. One of the graveslabs is described as being, 'very small, measuring only 8 or 9 in. [0.2-0.23m] across at the narrow end' (ibid.). The precise location of these coffin-shaped graveslabs within the graveyard is unknown. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 18 July 2023
