Inscribed slab

What is recorded here

That is the place now, and the story is no longer about the woman who vanished, the road she walked or the man who cut her name in stone. The chamber is a small room with a door, a window and a light. An unknown person cut the name ÓR DO SCANLA_N into limestone, broke the slab into four pieces and built it into the NW wall of St. Patrick's church. The chamber is a place to remember that the woman existed, not to invent the rest of her life.
Built into the inner face of the NW wall of St. Patrick's church (ME027-038001-) is an irregularly shaped limestone slab broken into four pieces (max. dims 1.65m x 0.85m). Centrally placed across the stone is a lightly incised inscription: ÓR DO SCANLA_N. (Anon. 1916, 205; Macalister 1949, 2, 33; Bradley 1980-1, 46) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 14 August, 2014
