What is recorded here

Graveslab in Knockroe (Drangan parish) is a graveslab in Knockroe (Drangan parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. It lies 2 metres north of the east end of the north wall of the ruined medieval church of Drangan. The rectangular limestone slab measures 2.08 metres in length, 0.62 metres in width and 0.165 metres in thickness, with a plain border 0.1 metres wide and no chamfer along the edge. An unusual three-armed cross decorates the face, its broad shaft continuing the full length of the slab to terminate at the base where it meets the border.

Lies 2m N of the E end of the N wall of the ruined medieval church (TS063-016001-) of Drangan. This rectangular limestone slab (L 2.08m; Wth 0.62m; T 0.165m) with a plain border (Wth 0.1m) and no chamfer along the edge. It is decorated with an unusual three-armed cross, with a broad shaft which continues the length of the slab and terminates at the base where it meets the border. A curving band connects the upper side arms with the top of the cross. Beneath the cross-head there are two broad horizantal bands, one above the other, the lower being slightly shorter, both terminate with a simple point. A short illegible latin inscriptin, in raised black letter script, is confined to the upper sinister half of the border. This does not appear to be the graveslab (TS063-016004-) recorded by Brennan (1854-5, vol.3, 215) in the mid-19th century. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 8 October 2014
