What is recorded here

Three sandstone graveslabs were recovered at Tintern abbey without archaeological contexts. This fragment (max. dims c. 0.66m x c. 0.95m) is the head of a trapezoidal slab with chamfered edges, and it is decorated with an incised Latin cross that has fleur-de-lys terminals. A hammer and pincers are depicted on either side of the shaft. (Manning 2010, 104) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of uplaod: 23 July, 2013

Medieval Christian graveslab, 12th–13th century. Its significance lies in its association with Tintern Abbey, a Cistercian monastery, and provides insight into medieval funerary practices and stone-carving techniques in monastic contexts.
