What is recorded here

Graveslab in Town Parks is a graveslab in Town Parks, County Tipperary, Ireland. It is the easternmost of three limestone slabs north of the west end of the medieval church of St. Nicholas of Myra, aligned northwest to southeast. The slab is 2.15 metres long, 0.76 metres wide and 0.12 metres deep. A banded eight-armed interlace cross with fleur-de-lys terminals rises from a calvary mount, while the worn marginal inscription preserves only the date 1582.

On the W side of the town, N of Main Street. The medieval church of St. Nicholas of Myra (TS085-004006-) appears to have survived until c. 1813 when it was demolished and replaced by a C of I church (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 63). One of three limestone graveslabs lying N of the W end of the church, aligned NW-SE. The most easterly slab (L 2.15m; Wth 0.76m; D 0.12m) is decorated with a banded, eight-armed interlace cross with fleur-de-lys terminals and a barred knop rising from a calvary mount. There is a marginal inscription but it is very worn. Only the date, 1582, is legible (Farrelly and FitzPatrick 1993). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
