Graveslab in Kiltullagh North

Graveslab

What is recorded here

Graveslab in Kiltullagh North stands upright inside the graveyard beside the surviving church wall, marking a grave without naming the dead. Its plain tapering stone may date to the 16th or 17th century, when local faith and death were recorded in shape rather than words. It still performs that old function: holding a life in visibility, even when the name has slipped away.
Within the graveyard (GA097-114001-), on the N side of the surviving wall of the church (GA097-114----). This tapering graveslab (H 1.14m; T 0.14m; base Wth 0.44m tapering to 0.4m) is currently used as a grave-marker and is standing upright. No decorative detail or inscription is evident. Possibly of 16th/17th-century date (Higgins 1998, 1-4). Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 11 March 2020 The following image has been uploaded: GA097-114003-_01.jpg
