What is recorded here

Graveslab in Dundrum is an Early Christian grave slab recently exposed in the graveyard, with fragments now kept inside St Nahi's church. Its broken surface still carries a faint Saltire-like cross, made from two sets of three lines spreading out from a small central cup mark. The stone may have marked an ordinary person buried before the present church rose, yet its lines still reach across the centuries like a quiet invitation to remember what Dundrum has lost.

An Early Christian grave slab was recently exposed in the graveyard, fragments of which are kept in the present St Nahi's church (L1.64m, Wth 0.46m, T 011-12m). The slab features an incised Saltire (?) cross formed by two sets of three lines radiating from a central cup mark. The central cup mark is quite faint (D 0.05m) (Corlett 220, 139-143).
