St Begnet (also Bega) has a 10C Church (there was probably a
wooden one before it in 9C), and there is a Cross Slab in churchyard
and a Grave Slab in the Centre. The Grave Slab is one of a type found
in the area of South Dublin and is called the Rathdown type. They may
be of pagan origin, taken over and redesigned as Christian grave markers
