Graveslab

What is recorded here

Located to the SSW of the round tower; look for the Moloney high-cross-style headstone and graveplot c.44m SSW of the round tower. The graveslab stands 8.3m NE of the Moloney headstone. It measures 0.98m in length according to Healy but only 0.65m shows above ground and it has been erected 'up-side-down' to the way it's drawn by Healy. An architectural fragment (WI023-008048- and Healy's no. 195; Healy 1972, 56) stands immediately to its S. Date of upload: 10 October 2012
A 10th- to 12th-century Christian graveslab, likely associated with a medieval ecclesiastical site; its proximity to a high-cross-style headstone and round tower suggests a liturgical or burial context within a monastic or parish settlement.
