What is recorded here

Donagh graveyard holds a leaning cross carved for Art O Conallen in 1666, its false-relief letters still marking his burial place beside Philemy McKenna. The stone tilts eastward, as if listening for answers from the men and women who walked that corner centuries before it became a forgotten landmark. Its sharp edges and proud name suggest a local family strong enough to claim death itself as a boundary, not a defeat.

Situated in the SE corner of Donagh graveyard (MO007-007004-) and just W of the graveslab of Philemy McKenna (MO007-007007-) is a cross-shaped headstone (H 0.8m; span 0.52m) with a rectangular cross-section (dims of base 0.21m x 0.13m) leaning to the E. The legend in false relief reads: 1666 / ART O / CONALLEN / HIS CROSS / AND B / VRIAL / PLACE (Shirley 1879, 295; McCarney 1957, 198) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 8 November 2016
