The National Monuments Service's description
Built into W wall of Kilshannig graveyard (CO032-107002-) is a 16th-century graveslab said to have come from Mourne Abbey (see 9550) but has been here since at least 1860 (Brady ibid., 290); design consists of seven-armed ringed cross with fleur-de-lis terminals; shaft, banded at base of cross-head, flanked by two plain square raised panels, probably intended for heraldic shields; below this, leafy frond springs from sinister side of cross shaft; raised border occurs along three surviving edges of slab (see Maher 1994).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
