What is recorded here
Graveslab in Townparks (nethercross By.) is a rectangular limestone floor slab, 1.85m long and 0.88m wide, set in the centre aisle of the present Church of Ireland (1818). It bears an incised inscription mixing Roman lettering and script, a rare bridge between worlds and centuries. The collapsed roof now bars entry, forcing imagination to do what feet cannot: walk the aisle, trace the marks, and wonder whose hands cut them.
