What is recorded here

One of eleven granite early grave slabs recorded at Tully graveyard (Swords 2009). This slab (L 1m; Wth 0.48m and 0.10m to 0.13m T) was found deeply buried in an upright position in 1982 c. 15m SW of the chancel of the church (DU026-023001-). It tapers slightly and has a large corner broken from one end and an unknown amount from the other. It bears a cup-mark enclosed by three concentric circles. An off-centre band extends from the outer circular to the opposite end. At each side of this band are diagonal and transverse lines forming a herring bone pattern. The slab was secured to the inside wall of the chancel and in 1989 was taken into the care of the Office of Public Works (see DU018-421----) (Ó hÉailidhe 1982; Corlett 2014, 102, Slab 3).
