What is recorded here

Graveslab in Kilberry is a two-metre sandstone slab carrying a double-lined floriated cross with fleur-de-lis terminals. It lies east of Kilberry parish church in County Meath, where a rectangular hole has also been cut into its wider end. The cross still marks death and devotion, while the hole suggests the slab was reused or damaged after its first purpose.
