What is recorded here
Grass and wind still move through the Killaconner graveyard, but two cross inscribed slabs keep the older shape of the place. They stand beside the church site like markers from a time when people buried their dead with symbols they could read at a glance. Perhaps the crosses guided the living or honored the dead. Either way, they turned a ordinary field into a remembered one.
Associated with church site (LH006-101001-) and contained two cross inscribed slabs (LH006-101003- and LH006-101004-).
