What is recorded here
Graveslab in Holycross is a graveslab in Holycross, County Tipperary, Ireland. It lies at the base of the altar shrine in the north wall of the second south transept chapel, where its worn tapered surface still shows a ring-headed cross with a knop beneath the head. The slab may date from the 17th century, but no inscription is visible to confirm that claim.
