Graveslab

What is recorded here

In the graveyard at Threecastles (KK014-025007-). Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 268) noted a fragment of a graveslab, 'of about the year 1600, showing a raised cross and a "Hic jacet Johannes..". Given the date ascribed it is likely that the latin inscription is in Black Letter script. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 20 May 2020
A 17th-century Christian graveslab, likely of early modern period origin, significant for its raised cross and Latin inscription indicating a memorial to an individual named John. Its presence in the graveyard reflects post-Reformation funerary practices in the region.
