The National Monuments Service's description
Within the interior of St Coman's medieval church (GA113-139---). This is the third graveslab of three (see also GA113-139002- and GA113-139003-) recorded by Carey (2008, 26) ‘that may date to the sixteenth century. The three rectangular slabs are each incised with ring-headed, long stemmed crosses with stepped bases. One of these slabs (GA113-139003-) has been reused and bears the date 1818'. This graveslab is numbered 40 on the plan (ibid., 23, Fig. 2).
