The National Monuments Service's description
At St Mary's parish church (KK019-026115-) in Kilkenny. A 13th/14th-century coffin-shaped graveslab (L 0.84m; Wth 0.62m), made from fossiliferous limestone. Re-set above the lintel of the entrance to the Watters burial vault in the former N aisle of the church. It was uncovered during the 2015 excavations (Ó Drisceoil 2019, unpublished). The slab bears an inscribed cross-head with fleur-de-lis terminals. It has been partially damaged, possibly when a pipe trench was been excavated.
