Graveslab in Templeogue

Graveslab

What is recorded here

Graveslab in Templeogue stands in the graveyard southeast of the church, a narrow granite block ninety centimetres tall with a plain cross carved in high relief. It is the kind of marker people still pass without reading, yet the cross rises sharp enough to catch light and shadow. Perhaps it belongs to someone whose name dissolved long ago, leaving only stone and shape behind.
In the graveyard SE of the church (DU022-009001-) is a narrow granite graveslab (H 0.90m; Wth 0.52m; T 0.32m) with a plain cross in high relief (Swords, K. ed.2009, 105). Compiled by Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 25th April 2012
Early Christian gravestone, 7th–9th century; significant as an example of high-relief stone carving and Christian iconography in the early medieval period.
