Graveslab in Kiltullagh North

Graveslab

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. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 11 March 2020 The following images have been uploaded: GA097-114006-_01.jpg GA097-114006-_02.jpg
