What is recorded here

Graveslab in Town Parks is a graveslab in Town Parks, County Tipperary, Ireland. A fragment of its upper half, measuring about 0.58 metres by 0.57 metres, is set into the inner face of the west end of the south boundary wall. The limestone fragment displays an interlace cross with small fleur-de-lys terminals, a crescent moon on the left and a sun on the right. A Latin marginal inscription in Black Letter script names Thomas Neal, with the initial letter decorated in an interlace pattern.

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). Incorporated in the internal face of the W end of the S boundary wall is a fragment of the upper half of a limestone slab (dims. c. 0.58m x 0.57m). It is decorated in relief with an interlace cross with unusually small fleur-de-lys terminals, a crescent moon on the sinister side and a sun on the dexter side. There is a latin marginal inscription in Black Letter script to a 'THOMAS NEAL… LI G…', the 'T' of Thomas is also decorated with an interlace pattern. (Farrelly and FitzPatrick 1993).
