What is recorded here
Graveslab in Taghshinny is a 17th-century stone fragment in a Taghshinny graveyard, bearing a partial Latin name and a fleur-de-lye. It lies broken in rubble against the wall, reducing Bernard and his marker to a small sharp edge of memory.
In the NE quadrant of a graveyard (LF023-097001-), in a pile of rubble against the wall. This fragment of a possible 17th-century graveslab (L 0.53m; Wth 0.25m; T 0.08m) is inscribed and decorated in false relief. The partial inscription, in Latin, reads 'Bernard…/Biter Me.’ Traces of a fleur-de-lye and the monogram INRI are visible above it.
