The National Monuments Service's description
In St Francis' Abbey (KK019-026101-). Portion of a limestone graveslab (L 0.415m; Wth 0.42m; D 0.385m) which has been recut and tooled across the surface to form a roughly square block. It was probably originally decorated with an incised floriated cross, though on a length of the deeply cut cross-shaft (Wth 0.03m) survives. It is unusually thick for a graveslab.
