The National Monuments Service's description
In the NE quadrant of a graveyard (LF023-097001-), in a pile of rubble against the wall. This fragment of a possible 17th-century graveslab (L 0.6m; Wth 0.33m; T 0.08m) is inscribed and decorated in false relief. The inscription, in Latin, is only partially legible and reads: '…is kinapres …/…fieri fecit../…e suos…/..es:cu..'. Above it a figure is depicted standing on a pedestal.
