Graveslab in Fethard

Inserted, on its side, into the external E wall of the E range extending N-S from the Augustinian abbey (TS070-040004-). This is the upper portion of this graveslab (dims. 0.66m x 0.64m), though the dexter top and side are missing. It is decorated with a seven-armed segmental cross with fleur-de-lis terminals and a barred-knop at the base of the cross-head. Only three of the arms are intact. There are some traces of Black Letter script in the border along the sinister top and upper side. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 17 January 2012

Medieval Christian graveslab; 12th to 14th century. Its reuse in the wall of the Augustinian abbey context reflects common medieval practices of repurposing stone for monastic buildings.
