The National Monuments Service's description
In St Francis' Abbey (KK019-026101-). Portion of a limestone graveslab (L 0.44m; Wth 0.32m; D 0.29m) which has been recut to form a roughly rectangular block. It was decorated with a deeply incised floriated cross, though on this portion only the lower arm (Wth 0.045m) with a fleur-de-lis terminal survives, running immediately into a length of the cross-shaft. This fragment is described by Bradley (1980, 14-15, no. 54).
