Graveslab

What is recorded here

Graveslab in Rathmichael is a half-buried granite marker south of the church, likely cut to stand upright before soil and time laid it flat. It lies on the east slopes of Carrickgollogan, convex and worn, with no name left visible. Whatever person it marked has vanished into the hill, but the stone still points to that loss.
