On the W side of the town, N of Main Street. The medieval church of St. Nicholas of Myra (TS085-004006-) appears to have survived until c. 1813 when it was demolished and replaced by a C of I church (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 63). One of three limestone graveslabs lying N of the W end of the church, aligned NW-SE. The middle, bevelled, slab (L 1.27m; Wth 0.91m) has been broken in the middle with only the upper portion remaining. It is elaborately decorated with an eight-armed banded cross with fleur-de-lys terminals and a barred knop. A circle is superimposed on the cross and there is a sun burst in each of the segments except one which contains a crescent moon. There is a marginal inscription (Wth 0.14m) which is quite faded in places. Where legible it reads in english, in Black Letter script: BODIE OF THOMAS BUTLER ESQUIER SONNE TO […]. (Farrelly and FitzPatrick 1993).
