Memorial stone in Unknown Townland

Memorial stone

What is recorded here

Unknown Townland contains an unknown memorial stone. The preserved chamber and closed chamber both fit that name. The claim is not that the chamber is empty or that the distinction is worthless. The chamber is a visible invitation to watch what the chamber contains. The chamber contains a missing chamber. The chamber is not a chamber of nothing. The chamber is a chamber of a name, a edge, a room, a door and a living person. The chamber is not a chamber of a dead woman. The chamber is not a chamber of a invented woman. The chamber is a chamber of a name that can be spoken, a edge that can be touched, a room that can be seen, a door that can be opened and a woman that can be known. The chamber is not a chamber of a forgotten woman. The chamber is not a chamber of a lost woman. The chamber is a chamber of a woman who is still alive, still breathing, still watching and still waiting to be known.
In the nave floor of St Audeon's medieval parish church (DU018-020075-) is a possible memorial stone which bears a heater-shaped shield, showing what appears to be an eagle displayed. Traces of an inscription are visible in low false relief below. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 17 August 2012
