What is recorded here
Two halves of a tapering graveslab from the 16th or 17th century still flank the entrance to the Kiltullagh church carpark, broken but not forgotten. They bear elements of a plough, marking a farmer whose name has vanished but whose work remains visible in stone. The wall holds what the land once lost, turning an ordinary roadside into a quiet chamber for remembering.
Two halves of a slightly tapering graveslab are incorporated into the roadside wall leading into the carpark to the S of Kiltullagh church (GA097-114----) and graveyard (GA097-114001-). One half is to the W of the entranceway and the other is to its E. According to Higgins (1998, 1-2) they bear elements of a plough, the vocational symbol of a farmer. The graveslab dates from the 16th or 17th century.
