The National Monuments Service's description
This fragment of a 17th-century graveslab, which was brought to the attention of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland by Dr Christy Cunniffe, is lying against the N wall of the nave of the church (GA117-065001-). The upper portion of the slab survives (H 0.52m; Wth 0.92m) and its thickness varies from 0.08m to 0.12m. The cross is depicted by a central lozenge opening into the head and arms of a cross. Within the lozenge are the letters 'IHS' with a small cross on the horizontal of the 'H'. There are two other 17th-C graveslabs within the church (see GA117-065005- and GA117-065007-).
