Graveslab

What is recorded here

Graveslab in Burgagery-Lands West is a graveslab in Burgagery-Lands West, County Tipperary, Ireland. A 13th or 14th century sandstone slab, 1.2 metres long, carries an incised cross with a lozenge-shaped head, trefoil terminals and a knop on the shaft, but its base has broken away. It now forms the east jamb of a 19th-century window in the south wall of St. Mary's church, deliberately scored with two horizontal lines to appear as three separate stones.
