What is recorded here

Two gable-shaped stones still stand 1.2m apart in the Slane Hill graveyard, a broken shrine south of the church tower. The missing side-stones and a smaller pointed stone nearby suggest a chamber once enclosed, perhaps for relics, prayer or burial. People may have gathered there in darkness, believing the hill itself listened.

In the graveyard on Slane Hill (ME019-060016-) there is a slab-shrine S of the church tower, which consists of two gable-shaped stones (W stone: dims 0.95m N-S; 0.25m E-W; H 1.4m; E stone: 1.12m N-S; 0.23m E-W; H 1.57m) placed 1.2m apart, but the side-stones are missing. There is a third pointed stone (dims 0.4m N-S; 0.16m E-W; H 0.44m) 0.9m to the E that may be part of it.
