Graveslab

What is recorded here

Graveslab in Tullaherin stands at the west end of the medieval church nave, its lower portion bearing an incised cross-shaft with a trefoil terminal. Dating to the 13th or 14th century, the tapering stone lies at the base of the north wall beside three other graveslabs. Its missing upper half suggests a violent interruption or later reuse, yet the surviving chamfered edges and delicate carving preserve a moment of devotion carved into cold Kilkenny stone.
