Graveslab

What is recorded here

Graveslab in Templemartin (gowran By., Clara Ed) is a tapering limestone slab standing upright inside the south wall of St. Martin's medieval church, immediately east of the south doorway. Its east face carries a four-armed incised cross with a central boss and fleur-de-lis terminals, while the cross-base disappears below ground level. The slab rises 0.82m above the floor, narrows from 0.55m to 0.51m, and keeps a broad 0.07m chamfer around its edge. It may have marked a burial, been reset in the church wall, or served both purposes at once.
