What is recorded here

Graveslab in Kilgobbin stands inside a plain rectangular church on the north slope of Three Rock Mountain, where eight carved stones emerged during restoration in 1983. Four quernstone fragments, a notched stone and two tall granite graveslabs still touch the inner north wall, suggesting the church reused older materials rather than building from nothing. The dead may have been marked twice: once on grinding stones from a forgotten kitchen and again on granite cut for burial. Kilgobbin keeps both lives layered in the same wall.
