What is recorded here

Graveslab in Templemartin (gowran By., Clara Ed) stands upright inside the south wall of St. Martin's medieval church, immediately east of the south doorway. Its tapering limestone surface carries a three-armed cross-head with lozenge and fleur-de-lis terminals, while a circular knop and curving lines rise beside the cross-shaft. The slab has marked death and memory in that nave since the thirteenth or fourteenth century, still visible beside the doorway where people once entered past the dead.

In the nave of St. Martin's medieval church (KK020-009001-). One of two 13th/14th-century graveslabs (see also KK020-009004-) standing upright inside the S wall of the nave, immediately E of the S doorway. A tapering limestone slab (H 1.09m above ground level; Wth 0.67m at broader upper end; T 0.15m) with a narrow chamfer (Wth 0.05m) about its perimeter. The E face is decorated with a three-armed incised cross-head with lozenge and fleur-de-lis terminals. There is a circular knop beneath the cross-head consisting of two concentric incised lines with two curving concentric lines rising from this knop on either side of the cross-shaft to meet the lower incised lines of the lozenge. The cross-shaft consists of two parallel incised lines and the cross-base is not visible as it is below ground level. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 11 November 2020
