The National Monuments Service's description
At St Mary's parish church (KK019-026115-) in Kilkenny, re-used as a jamb in the lancet window on the E wall (exterior) of the S transept (Bradley 1980, 11, no. 29). A fragment of a 13th/14th-century graveslab, composed of fossiliferous limestone, decorated with an incised cross head in which the arms terminate in circular roundels (ibid.). The dimensions have not been ascertained because of the fragment's inaccessibility.
