What is recorded here

Graveslab in Kinvarra lies inside St Coman's medieval church, one of three rectangular slabs incised with ring-headed crosses that may date to the sixteenth century. The third slab was reused and bears the date 1818, suggesting the church kept claiming bodies long after its medieval origins. Together they mark a place where death was not forgotten but repeatedly written, crossed and remembered.

Within the interior of St Coman's medieval church (GA113-139---). This is the third graveslab of three (see also GA113-139002- and GA113-139003-) recorded by Carey (2008, 26) ‘that may date to the sixteenth century. The three rectangular slabs are each incised with ring-headed, long stemmed crosses with stepped bases. One of these slabs (GA113-139003-) has been reused and bears the date 1818'. This graveslab is numbered 40 on the plan (ibid., 23, Fig. 2). Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 9 April 2020
