What is recorded here

Two medieval grave slabs still mark the east and south walls of the south aisle at Graveslab in Howth. Each bears an incised floriated cross with arms and a stepped base, simple enough to read at a glance yet old enough to belong before written memory. They suggest a chapel where death was ordered, decorated and remembered without naming the dead.

There are two medieval grave slabs attached to the E and S wall of the S aisle (DU0 15-029001-). Both grave-slabs have an incised floriated cross with arms and a stepped base. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 26 August 2011
