What is recorded here

Graveslab in Kiltullagh North stands upright within the graveyard beside the surviving church wall, its tapering stone rising barely fifty centimetres above ground. It may date from the 12th to early 15th century, yet it bears no inscription or decoration, leaving the person it marked lost to time. The slab still functions as a grave-marker, suggesting that the boundary between the remembered dead and the forgotten ones remains thinner than stone.

Within the graveyard (GA097-114001-), on the N side of the surviving wall of the church (GA097-114----). Only the upper part of this tapering graveslab (H 0.55m; T 0.14m; base Wth 0.46m; Wth at top 0.51m) is visible. It is embedded upright in ground and is currently being used as a grave-marker. No decorative detail or inscription is evident. Higgins (1998, 1-4) suggests that it could date between the 12th and early 15th century.

Medieval Christian graveslab, likely 12th to 16th century. It is significant as a rare surviving example of early Christian funerary monuments in an otherwise poorly documented regional context.
