Graveslab in St. Patricksrock

Lying in the choir of the cathedral (TS061-025003-) on the Rock of Cashel. A broken limestone slab (L 1.53m; Wth at base 0.68), only pieces of the top survive, some concreted into position. It is also cracked across the face beneath the barred knop and above the cross-base. It is a three-armed trefoil-headed cross, with a three-barred knop beneath the cross-head. The cross-shaft is raised in false relief. The cross-base is too worn to decipher its form. Inscription in Roman capitals around the border. According to Fitzgerald (1903, 442) this slab 'is probably of the seventeenth century, as the letters are in Roman capitals; they run round the edge, and are only deciperable in places. What can be made out is:- ...VS [BVT]LER.DE.RA[T]HOON.GENEROS / VS.QVI.......ET / [HEL]ENA.BVTLER / EIVS.VXOR.QVI OBYT.....'. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 5 October 2018

A Christian gravemarker; likely medieval in date. Its presence within the Rock of Cashel cathedral highlights the site's long history of religious use.
