What is recorded here

Graveslab in Monsea is a graveslab in Monsea, County Tipperary, Ireland. It lies outside the south wall of the church ruins, slightly west of the door, and may date from the sixteenth century. The stone carries an embossed square panel with a rosette, four quatrefoils and the initials T.B. and S.B., details that point to the Butler family.

Possible 16th century graveslab located outside S wall of Monsea church ruins (TN020-028001-) off centre to W which was described in 1951 as follows; 'Outside the S[outh]. door (15th cent.) is a stone which came up in the cleaning. It has embossed a panel about 1in. [0.02m] square bearing rosette four quatrefoils and the initials "T.B.'" and "S.B." -the Tudor Rose and the initials apparently refer to the Butler family' (Gleeson 1951, 98). Could be the remains of a decorated stone rather than that of a graveslab but this is uncertain.
