Graveslab (present location) in Unknown Townland

This is the present location of the decorated grave slab from Tully, Co. Dublin (see DU026-023011-). It is one of eleven granite early grave slabs recorded at Tully graveyard (Swords 2009). This slab (H 1.06m, Wth 0.53m – 0.56m, T 0.14m) bears a Latin ringed cross in low relief on which are five cup-marks. There is a small cupmark on each arm and one at the intersection. There is a semi-spherical boss under each arm and herringbone design flanks each side of the shaft. In 1989 the slab was taken into the care of the Office of Public Works.
