Graveslab in Lorrha

Situated inside Lorrha Roman Catholic church adjacent to the Dominican Friary (TN004-010001-). The limestone graveslab (L 2m x Wth c. 0.9m) is decorated with a six-armed circular cross head with fleur-de-lys terminals, in the centre of which is an I H S motif. There is a sun and moon motif above the cross and both sides of the shaft are in Latin, carved in relief in Gothic script. The shaft rests on a stepped calvary mount. The marginal inscription in Latin commemorates Patrick O'Hogan of Shearragh and his wife Johanna Dalachan who had this tomb made in 1626.
