The National Monuments Service's description
A medieval graveslab beneath the sedilia at the E end of the church interior on Canon Island (CL060-011002-). The slab is slightly tapered (L 1.6m; Wth 0.4-0.65m) and has a bevelled edge all around. A cross with an elaborate floriated head and a slim shaft on a stepped base is carved in false relief. There is no evident inscription. A second medieval slab (CL060-011005-) lies recumbent beneath the E window.
