The National Monuments Service's description
In the medieval church of Tullaroan (KK0180932001-), lying up against the internal face of N wall of nave at N end. The upper sinister portion (dims. 1.04m x 0.46m; T 0.2m) of a graveslab, possibly the lid of an altar tomb. It is decorated with a seven-armed interlace banded cross with fleur-de-lis terminals. There is a three-bar knop at the base of the cross head. The upper broad border contains the remains of a Latin inscription in raised Black Letter script. This may be one of the funerary monuments mentioned by Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 494-5), dated 1513, which was recorded in the Memoir of the Family of Grace published in 1818, and the partial inscription is given as, '....er. dus. de. Coraghmor. quae. obiit. [die.n]atibitatis. die. Marie, A.D. mcccccxiii'.
