Graveslab in Tobertown

Graveslab

What is recorded here

Graveslab in Tobertown, County Dublin, was a thin stone fragment leaning NW-SE at the south end of the graveyard when recorded in 1992. Each August 15th, wooden crosses appeared upon it, turning that small slab into a living focus for veneration. The slab has not been seen since, leaving behind only the memory of crosses placed in reverence and a absence that deepens rather than solves.
The 1992 report recorded a graveslab fragment orientated NW-SE (H 0.8m, W 0.15m, T 0.06m ) at the S end of graveyard (DU001-003001-). It was a focus for veneration and was adorned with wooden crosses on Pattern day, the 15th of August each year. The graveslab was not located on subsequent visits.
