The National Monuments Service's description
Built into the internal face of the W wall of the nave of the Augustinian friary (KK026-010016-) in Callan. A broken-off portion of a graveslab has been reused in a re-built section of ashlar stonework. It is N of the W doorway and at the same height as the top of the doorway. The fragment (dims. 0.45m x 0.3m) is from the upper portion of a graveslab and is decorated with two fleur-de-lys terminals of a segmental-headed cross, in false relief.
