What is recorded here

Graveslab in Clonmacnoise belongs to the vanished Carn of the Three Crosses, yet no stone remains visible to mark the loss. The earth keeps what human hands forgot, pressing the border between memory and oblivion flat under grass and rain.

No surface remains visible of any graveslab that was part of the 'Carn of the Three Crosses'. Extract from the 75th Annual Report of the Commissioners of Public Work in Ireland (1906-7, 8). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
