The National Monuments Service's description
Located immediately to the E of the most westerly pier of the aisle of Claregalway friary (GA070-035001-). This broken tapering slab (L 1.2m; Wth 0.59m at top; 0.4m at bottom; T 0.09m) is very similar to five others noted by Bradley and Dunne in the chancel (see GA070-035003- to GA070-035007-), which they believed were of 13th/14th-century date. The lower portion of the slab is missing. No inscription is evident.
