What is recorded here

Graveslab in Baptistgrange is a graveslab in Baptistgrange, County Tipperary, Ireland. It stands upright 1.3m east of the east gable of the medieval church, its tapering sandstone body rising 1.12m above ground and measuring 0.55m wide at the top. The western face carries an incised three-armed potent cross with rectangular terminals and a two-line shaft, while four deep horizontal score marks run along the upper south side. The cross base remains buried below the ground surface.

Embedded upright in the ground 1.3m E of the E gable of the medieval church of Baptistgrange (TS077-008001-). A tapering sandstone conglomerate graveslab (H above ground 1.12m; Wth at top 0.55m; Wth at base where visible 0.49m; T 0.23m) with small quartz inclusions. It faces W and is as described by Crawford (1912, 243), a 'slab 3ft. 3in. [c.1m] long, with an incised cross potent of three lines, in a single-line frame'. Maher (1997, 54) erroneously thought the slab was inverted, however, the head, though much worn, is visible as a three-armed potent cross. Within the incised rectangular terminal of each arm there is an inner rectangular depression. The cross-shaft consists of two incised lines. The cross base is buried below ground level. There are 4 deep horizontal score marks on the upper S side of the slab and 2-3 shallower ones. There is no visible inscription. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 06 November 2013
