The National Monuments Service's description
A sandstone image carved three quarters in the round (L 0.76m; Wth 0.3m; H 0.18m) is in the church of Cloonclare (LE011-019001-) and represents a female figure in repose. The head is missing, although the pillow on which it rested survives. It is wearing a cloak and the ruff at the neck indicates a late 16th or early 17th century date. It may represent a child, or be one figure from a larger memorial.
