Situated on the floor of the chancel of Kilfenora Cathedral (CL016-015002-). Not listed in the SMR (1992) or the RMP (1996). The lower portion of a trapezoidal graveslab (present dims. L 0.63m; Wth at base 0.3m; Wth at top ((mid point of slab)) 0.34m). The base of an incised cross remains. Two simple lines form the shaft while the base expands to two squares each with a different floral-like motif. A second medieval graveslab (CL016-015020-) lies nearby to NE. Some of the other rough slabs lying in the chancel may also be medieval in date.
