The National Monuments Service's description
Within the burial ground (LF023-113002-) c. 30m to the NE of the Cistercian abbey (LF023-113----). One of a group of four graveslabs (see also LF023-113004-, LF023-113010- and LF023-113012-). This tapered graveslab (dims. H 1.04m; top Wth 0.36m; base Wth 0.5m; T 0.11m) has been erected upside down and, as a result, the carving on its upper part is hidden. Its E face bears a very fine, although much-worn, carving of what appears to be a floriated cross and other barely visible features, all of which are contained within a border of nailhead ornament.
