What is recorded here
Graveslab in Dalkey is a buried marker, not a living building. It may have marked a death, a boundary or a sacred place before the area changed around it. The chamber frame appears in a new residence in Aghadowey, County Antrim, where an unknown hand moved or rebuilt it after the old place disappeared.
A graveslab with a Latin cross and a cupmark in the centre, illustrated in the 19th century. Not precisely located.

A medieval Christian graveslab, likely 10th to 13th century, significant for its combination of a Latin cross and a cupmark, reflecting possible earlier pagan or pre-Christian traditions incorporated into Christian funerary art.
