What is recorded here

Graveslab in Crohane Lower is a graveslab in Crohane Lower, County Tipperary, Ireland. The upper portion of a rectangular limestone slab, 0.7m wide and 0.69m long, is embedded in the porch floor of a 19th-century C of I church built on a medieval church site. It carries a relief eight-armed interlace cross with fleur-de-lys terminals, two worn side-positioned letters at the centre, and a plain raised border 0.065 to 0.07m wide that the fleur-de-lys cut through at the cardinal points. A straight break below the cross head severs the lowest fleur-de-lys, and local tradition places its origin near Lismalin church or graveyard about 4km to the south-east.

Embedded in the floor of the porch of a 19th-century C of I church, which is located on the site of a medieval church (TS055-041001-). Only the upper portion of a rectangular limestone graveslab (Wth 0.7m; L 0.69m) is present. It is decorated in relief with an eight-armed interlace cross with fleur-de-lys terminals. The graveslab is broken, with a straight break, below the cross head, cutting across the lowest fleur-de-lys. There are two letters carved at the centre of the cross. The letters, which are positioned on their side, are quite worn and difficult to decipher. The first letter is adorned with an initial decorative carved knot. There is a plain raised border (Wth 0.065-0.07m) which is cut into by the fleur-de-lys at the cardinal points. There is a local tradition that the graveslab came from Lismalin church (TS055-067---) or graveyard (TS055-067001-) c. 4km to the SE. Stylistically this graveslab dates to the 16th/ early 17th century. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 27 November 2013
