This plain, rectangular stone slab stretches 2.12 metres in length and measures 0.91 metres wide, with a thickness of 14 centimetres. Positioned at the eastern end of the church, it rests directly on the ground where it has likely lain since the late 17th century.

The slab’s surface bears a carefully carved inscription arranged in ten regular lines across its upper half. The text commemorates Charles Davenport, esquire, who died in 1697, alongside his wife Margaret. The precision of the lettering suggests this was commissioned by a family of some standing in the local community; the title ‘esquire’ indicates Charles held a position of social importance in late 17th century Donegal society.

This graveslab represents a typical example of post medieval memorial stones found throughout Ireland, where Protestant landowners and their families often chose simple yet dignified monuments. The survival of both the stone and its legible inscription offers visitors a tangible connection to the Anglo Irish gentry who shaped this region during the plantation period and beyond. Its placement at Clonca church, rather than in a grander setting, hints at the local roots this family had established in this corner of Donegal.
