What is recorded here
Killamery graveyard once held a small rough cross-slab bearing a prayer for Tuathal beneath a thin Latin cross. The stone has vanished, leaving behind a name and the shape of a request rather than a visible marker.
A cross-slab (0.38m x 0.22m) originally located in Killamery graveyard (KK030-008010-) but not currently visible. The stone bore an Irish inscription ‘Ór ar Thuathal’ (A prayer for Tuathal) under an incised single-line Latin cross (L c. 0.12m) with enlarged ends. Carrigan (1905, vol. 4, 315) described the stone as a very small freestone flag, thin and rough. (Crawford 1913, 261; Manning 1982, 378-9)

Probably dating to the early medieval period, this cross-slab likely served as a memorial or devotional object, with the inscription indicating a Christian prayer associated with the figure Tuathal, possibly a local saint or notable individual.
