What is recorded here

Graveslab in Dundrum is a broken Rathdown slab carrying a cup-mark inside three circles and three radiating lines, now preserved in St. Nahi's church. It emerged in 2004 from the southwest quadrant of the graveyard, where soil and time had hidden one small disc of human making. The marks suggest a place of remembering, perhaps a burial, offering or boundary, yet the loss of its larger stone leaves the meaning trembling at the edge of knowledge.

Found in 2004 in the SW quadrant of the graveyard (DU022-016003-) (Swords, K. ed. 2009, 100). Comprises a portion of a Rathdown slab (L 0.70m, Wth 0.44m, T 0.15m). Decorated with a flat-bottomed cup-mark enclosed by three concentric circles. Three shallow lines radiate from the outer circleto the end of the slab. At the broken end there is part of an arc of a circle. The slab is located in St. Nahi's church. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 25th April 2012
