What is recorded here

Within a graveyard (SL046-026002-), located on a penitential station (MA046-026002-), named ‘Altar’ on the OS 6-inch maps. According to local information, a roughly circular stone (diam. approx. 0.4m) with a central circular hollow was traditionally kept on top of the penitential station. It may have been a bullaun stone, or possibly a stoup or font. Unusually, it had a lid or cap, which consisted of a smaller stone, hemispherical in shape, the flat side of which was placed over the central hollow of the large stone. These stones were stolen and their current whereabouts are unknown. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 21 May 2021
