The National Monuments Service's description
One of two early graveslabs (see also DU028-002006-) this slab formed a lintel to the church window: it was moved to the National Museum of Ireland in 1940 (Reg. no. 1940:106; see DU018-146----). The slab (L 1.32m, Wth 0.48m) is carved with two groups of concentric circles with centre cup marks, a centre band and herringbone pattern. (Ó hÉailidhe 1973, 57, no. B14; Swords 2009, 84).
