The National Monuments Service's description
This slightly tapering graveslab (L 1.83m; Wth at base 0.58m; Wth at shoulder 0.56m; Wth at top 0.18m) is one of two 17th-century graveslabs (see also GA098-111003-) within the church (GA098-111----). The head of the slab is rounded and it varies in thickness of between 0.1m to 0.4m. A raised open lozenge forms the head and arms of a cross and the shaft running from it ends on a stepped Calvary base. Within the lozenge the monogram IHS is visible and a small Greek cross that springs from the horizontal bar of the 'H' is similar to a graveslab (GA117-065006-) in Lickmolassy. The graveslabs were brought our attention by Dr C. Cunniffe.
