Graveslab in Tinvoher

Situated on an E-facing slope with a ringwork (TN035-030001) to the W and a tower house (TN035-030005) to the E in undulating countryside. Listed in the ecclesiastical taxation of the Diocese of Cashel in 1302 (CDI, vol. 5, 283). The ivy covered remains of a nave and chancel church (TN035-030002) with a barrel-vaulted tower built onto the E end of the chancel. There are two seventeenth-century graveslabs dating to 1643 and 1644 and decorated with fleur-de-lis symbols on the floor of the chancel. Alongside these there are five more late medieval graveslabs in the chancel (TN035-030008-014) and an open stone sarcophagus (TN035-030016). There is a single late medieval graveslab (TN035-030015) in the SE angle of the nave near the chancel arch. The graveslabs and the sarcophagus are arranged in two rows of four across the width of the chancel. This rectangular limestone graveslab (Wth. 0.80m; L 1.95m; T 0.14m) is located in the W row of slabs in the chancel just N of the chancel arch. The surface of the slab has been worn away with no visible inscription or cross on the surface of the slab. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
