The National Monuments Service's description
In St. Francis' Abbey (KK019-026101-). A fragment of a tapering limestone graveslab (L 0.43m; Wth 0.28m; D 0.12m) with chamfered sides. A length of one, possibly the dexter, side survives. The graveslab is decorated with a raised cross, though only the defaced cross-shaft survives. The edges of the slab have a raised border. It is similar in style to two another fragments (KK019-026538- and KK019-026539-) which may be from the same graveslab.
