The National Monuments Service's description
At St Mary's parish church (KK019-026115-) in Kilkenny. Fragment of 13th/14th-century uninscribed graveslab, made from fossiliferous limestone (Bradley 1980, 10, no. 26). Upper two-thirds of a graveslab (dims. 0.63m x 0.33m) bearing an incised simple floriated ringed-cross rising from an orb above the cross-shaft. The top of the cross-head has been modified and the right is truncated. Reused in the eastern entrance pier of the churchyard of St. Mary’s Church.
