What is recorded here
Graveslab in Moorstown (Mora parish) is a graveslab in Moorstown (Mora parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. It survives as two adjacent limestone fragments, likely from one slab, immediately south of the crossing-tower wall at Mora church. Their smooth upper surfaces carry no visible decoration or inscription, while their undersides remain roughly cut. Similar graveslabs nearby point to a thirteenth or fourteenth century date for this group.
At Mora church (TS069-060001-), immediately S of the line of the S wall of the crossing-tower. There are two adjacent limestone graveslab fragments (dims. 33m x 37m; D 0.14m; 45m x 28m; D 0.15m) which are likely to be from the same graveslab. The upper surface of both is smooth with no discernible decoration or inscription surviving. The undersides are very roughly cut. The components of this graveslab are similar in form to other graveslabs (TS069-060005-; TS069-060006-; TS069-060007-; TS069-060009-) within or adjacent to the church which appear to be of 13th/14th century date.
