What is recorded here
Kiltubbrid graveyard in County Leitrim contains a tapering graveslab with a ringed cross carved in double lines. The stone stands beside a mausoleum structure and belongs to a place where death, memory and local craft still meet. Its simple shape suggests a person important enough to mark, yet the absence of a name invites wonder rather than certainty.
A tapering graveslab (L 0.78m; Wth 0.39-0.47m) has a ringed cross incised with double lines and with excavated quadrants. It is built into the N wall of Kiltubbrid graveyard (LE024-021002-) beside the mausoleum structure, which contains other dressed stones.
