After Christianity's establishment it became customary to erect a tomb over the grave, having a flat slab on top, especially in the cemeteries of monasteries with an inscription, generally in irish. Often the monument was an inscribed pillar-stone. The headstone of Lugna (Loona) is the oldest known pillar stone in Ireland, standing about two and a half feet over ground near the ancient church of Templepatrick on the island of Inchagoill in Lough Corrib. According to the narrative of the Life of St Patrick, his sister had seven sons, the youngest was Lugna, and it is said that according to the inscription, this pillar stone is his.   Dimensions: Length 25mm X Diameter 5mm X 5mm Weight: 12 grams inc chain Material - Sterling Silver - including chain The chain is 24 inches, it can be shortened by closing the clasp lower when putting it on.
