Graveslab (present location) in Unknown Townland

One of two early graveslabs from Ballyman, Co. Dublin (see DU028-002005-). This slab formed a lintel to the E window in the church (DU028-002002-): it was moved to the National Museum of Ireland in 1940 (Reg. no. 1940:106). The slab (L 1.32m, Wth 0.48m) is carved with two groups of concentric circles with centre cup marks, a centre band and herringbone pattern. (Ó hÉailidhe 1973, 57, no. B14; Swords 2009, 84).
