What is recorded here

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 most easterly slab (L 2.15m; Wth 0.76m; D 0.12m) is decorated with a banded, eight-armed interlace cross with fleur-de-lys terminals and a barred knop rising from a calvary mount. There is a marginal inscription but it is very worn. Only the date, 1582, is legible (Farrelly and FitzPatrick 1993). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
