The National Monuments Service's description
In St Francis' Abbey (KK019-026101-). Only the lower half of this limestone tapering graveslab survives (L 0.96m; Wth at top 0.51m; Wth at base 0.46m; D 0.165m). It is decorated with cross, only the cross-shaft (Wth 0.025m), in relief, survives terminating in a fleur-de-lis with a circular knop immediately above it. There is a steep chamfer (Wth 0.07m) along the sides, with a horizontal incised line at the base of the chamfer, and a chamfer (Wth 0.05m) with drafting along the base. The graveslab is described and illustrated in Bradley (1980, 14, 21, no. 46).
