What is recorded here

In 1993, the late Paddy Healy provided descriptions of three graveslabs (subsequently designated WI005-070011-, WI005-070012- and WI005-070013-) that were found following the collapse of the church tower (WI005-070001-) at Burgage in 1987. WI005-070012-: a very slightly tapering granite slab (dims. L 1m; Wth 0.41-0.43m; T 0.16m) bearing a ringed cross carved in relief. It had been reused as a window lintel in the church. Its present location is unknown. (Corlett 2003, 92, 107 Slab 5) The graveslab was subsequently located c. 10m NW of the NW corner of the towerhouse (WI005-070004-).
