Graveslab in Athasselabbey North

Graveslab

What is recorded here

Graveslab in Athasselabbey North is a graveslab in Athasselabbey North, County Tipperary, Ireland. It is the lower portion of a tapering slab, 0.42m long, 0.22m wide at the top, 0.18m wide at the base and averaging 0.12m thick. It bears a lightly incised outline cross-stem terminating in a simple trefoil base. The decorated surface is somewhat weathered but the design is decipherable, and there is no evidence the slab bore an inscription.
This slab is described by Maher (1997, 53) as being located in the chancel of the Augustian abbey (TS068-013---) at Athassel adjacent to another graveslab (TS068-013015-). However, the slab could not be located during an inspection in May 2014. According to Maher (ibid.), 'It is the lower portion of a tapering slab (L 0.42m; Wth at top 0.22m; Wth at base 0.18m; average T 0.12m) which 'bears a lightly incised outline cross-stem terminating in a simple trefoil base. Although the decorated surface is somewhat weathered the design is decipherable. There is no evidence to suggest that the slab bore an inscription'.
