Graveslab in Nenagh North

Within the Franciscan friary (TN020-037002-) which is in the SE sector of the town of Nenagh. Two fragments, which appear to be from the same limestone graveslab, are lying within friary church, near the E end of the S wall. One fragment, badly cracked, is from the upper portion of the graveslab (Wth 0.61m; D 0.155m), which tapers slightly. It is decorated with a raised floriated cross-head (0.49m x 0.45m). The other fragment (L 0.89m; Wth c. 0.4m; D 0.15m) consists of the dexter side of the graveslab and is decorated with a raised cross-shaft and knop. The sinister side as well as the lower portion of the graveslab are missing. See attached photograph: TN020-037014-_01 Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 29 August 2022

Medieval Christian graveslab; 13th–15th century. Likely associated with early religious structures in Nenagh, reflecting the presence of a Franciscan friary and local burial practices.
