Graveslab in Knockroe (drangan Par.)

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
