What is recorded here

Graveslab in Templeogue stands upright inside the church, a flat stone bearing a Latin cross and raised border. It is the kind of marker people brushed past when living, then remembered when loss arrived. The church still holds it, keeping the shape of grief long after the names faded.

This slab is buried inside the church (DU022-009001-) in an upright position (L 1.80m, Wth 0.57m-0.34m, T 0.18m). It is decorated on one face. The decoration consists of a Latin cross in low relief and a raised border around the edge (Swords, K. ed.2009, 102). Compiled by Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 25th April 2012
