The National Monuments Service's description
This tapering bevelled graveslab is in the nave of the Dominican church (GA084-001014-), to the N of the wall monument (GA084-001070-). The slab is incomplete – the head and base are missing. Both of the surviving fragments (upper fragment: L 0.59m; Wth across top 0.51m; base Wth 0.42m; lower fragment L 0.32m; Wth 0.32m; T 0.15m) are decorated with the raised stem of a cross and both have a raised border similar to another graveslab (see GA084-001034-) of 13th/14th-century date.
