The National Monuments Service's description
A portion of a chest tomb, now located in South Tipperary County Museum (see TS083-019084-), is said to have been originally located in this church (KK039-001001-). It consists of a limestone panely (H 0.41m; Wth 0.35m; D 0.05m), the upper sinister and dexter portions are missing and it is broken off along its sinister side. Where the panel is intact there are the remains of a narrow, plain margin around the edge of the upper, lower and dexter side. The panel is decorated with the symbols of the Passion.
