Graveslab in Moig South

Graveslab

What is recorded here

Graveslab in Moig South is a 15/16th century tapering limestone slab bearing a ringed cross flanked by twisted vine stems and floral patterns. It stands on steps at the south side of the chancel, measuring 191 cm long and 70 to 52 cm wide. The carved vine suggests life continuing beyond death, while the ringed cross anchors the monument in Christian belief. Together they turn a plain grave marker into a quiet statement about endurance, faith and the boundary between the living and the dead.
The following description of this monument is taken from 'The Urban Archaeological Survey of County Limerick' compiled by John Bradley, Andrew Halpin and Heather A. King (Office of Public Works, 1985). "Grave slab. 15/16th cent.
