Lying in a recumbent postion in the E quadrant of Ballintemple graveyard (TS059-032001-), S of the church. According to the OS letters (O’Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 95 (256)) the medieval church (TS059-032----) was located under the later C of I church, visible on the 1st (1840) ed. 6-inch OS map, but no longer visible above ground. A rectangular graveslab (L 1.91m; Wth 0.88m; D at least 0.12m) decorated with a raised cross with a large trefoil at each arm terminal. The arms emanate from a lozenge-shaped centre. There is a single knop (Wth 0.19m; H 0.09m) beneath the cross-head, surmounting the cross-shaft (Wth 0.09m) which rests on a stepped cross-base. There is a wide border (Wth 0.15m) with a latin inscription in raised Black Letter script which begins in the top dexter corner with 'HIC JACET....'. Based on style this graveslab appears to be of 16th or early 17th-century date. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 11 December 2012
