What is recorded here

Graveslab in Gracedieu marks two 16th-century burial slabs beside the ruined nunnery in County Dublin. The western slab carries an incised cross with a stepped base and floriated arms, while an inscription circles its margin. They are not display objects but lost identities returned to stone, waiting for reading, memory and mercy.

There are two inscribed 16th-century graveslabs to the N (c.20m) and W (c.6m) of the remains of the nunnery (DU007-015001-). The western slab bears an incised cross with a stepped base and floriated arms. There is an inscription around the margin.
