The National Monuments Service's description
Within the burial gound (LF023-113002-) c. 30m to the NE of the Cistercian abbey (LF023-113----). A voussoir bearing a carved stone head of a bishop/abbot wearing a mitre marks one end of a modern grave. The voussoir was probably removed from a window or doorway of the abbey. (Lennon 2005)
