What is recorded here
Graveslab in Whitechurch is a tapering stone slab bearing diagonal lines and a central cup-mark, attached to the chancel wall. It belongs to the church as a marked grave, preserving a dead person’s identity through shape rather than writing. The cuts suggest a craftsman worked deliberately, perhaps for a family, a cleric or a local patron. That much is visible; the rest is loss.
Attached to exterior of chancel near the S wall of church (DU022-030001-). This is of regular shape, tapering towards one end (L 1.02m, Wth 0.40m, T 0.09m). It is deeply incised with two diagonal lines runnning from corner to corner with a cup-mark at the intersection (Ó hÉailidhe & Prendergast, 1977, 139-140, Swords, K. ed. 2009, 87).
