About

The Straboe Grave Slab is a medieval grave slab located in Straboe, County Carlow, Ireland. It is protected under the National Monuments Acts (1930–2014).

The grave slab is located outside the ruined Templeboy church, approximately 6 km (4 mi) southeast of Castledermot, and 1.5 km (1 mile) north of the River Slaney. A holy well, castle, ringfort and spring are also located nearby.

The grave slab measures 1.8 m × 0.4 m × 0.2 m (5 ft 11 in × 1 ft 4 in × 8 in). There is a Latin cross at the wider end and a Maltese cross inscribed at the narrower end. The ends are V-shaped. Its shape is similar to the De Profundis Stone in Kilbride, County Westmeath.
