What is recorded here

In the graveyard (TS083-019020-) N of St. Mary' church (TS083-019001-) (1.3m N of the chancel and 1m E St. Michael's chapel), there is a prostrate limestone graveslab (L 1.67m; Wth 0.75m at top; Wth 0.64m at base; T 0.08m) with chamfered edges (Wth 0.03m). The surface is very badly worn and part of the sinister side and base are broken. The decoration was described by Maher (1997, 67) as consisting of 'a severn-armed segmental cross, carved in relief, with each arm terminating in a fleur-de-lis. The cross-shaft terminates in a pillar-base form which features a skull and cross-bones. An inscription in Roman lettering occurs along the base of the slab. It reads: MEM(E)NTO MORI (Remember Death)'. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
