Graveslab in Kiltubbrid

Graveslab

What is recorded here

Kiltubbrid graveyard in County Leitrim contains a tapering graveslab with a ringed cross carved in double lines. The stone stands beside a mausoleum structure and belongs to a place where death, memory and local craft still meet. Its simple shape suggests a person important enough to mark, yet the absence of a name invites wonder rather than certainty.

It is built into the N wall of Kiltubbrid graveyard (LE024-021002-) beside the mausoleum structure, which contains other dressed stones. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 13 January, 2017
