Graveslab in Tintern

Graveslab

Why this matters

Early Christian gravestone, 7th–9th century; significant for its cross motif and chamfered edge, indicative of Insular artistic traditions in the British Isles.

What is recorded here

Three sandstone graveslabs were recovered at Tintern abbey without archaeological contexts. This fragment (L 0.75m; Wth 0.5m) is the base of a rectangular slab with one chamfered edge. Four steps at the base of a cross are incised on it. (Manning 2010, 105, No. 2) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 23 July, 2013
