What is recorded here

Graveslab in Kinvarra (kiltartan By.) stands inside St Coman's medieval church in County Galway, Ireland. The second of three rectangular slabs may date to the sixteenth century and displays a ring-headed, long-stemmed cross with a stepped base. One nearby slab was reused and bears the date 1818, suggesting the church continued marking death long after its medieval origins.
