Graveslab in Dunlavin Upper

Graveslab

Why this matters

A local ancient tomb; wider significance not recorded.

What is recorded here

The church was demolished before 1838 and replaced by the present Church of Ireland parish church. Bradley and King (1989, 39-40) record that 'the graveyard has been turned into a public park with the gravestones arranged around the walls.' Three seventeenth century graveslabs survive. This slab bears an inscription to Will(iam) . . . (?) ob. 167(?). See also WI015-016003- and WI015-016004-. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 19 December 2011
