The National Monuments Service's description
Medieval graveslab lying on the ground located off centre to W adjacent to the N wall of the church (LI032-147002-) belonging to the Hospital of Aney or the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem. The coffin shaped stone has a chamfered edge and is decorated with an incised fleur-de-lys cross double line incised shaft. The lower corner has broken off the stone. A second plain medieval graveslab (LI032-147012-) lies a few meters to the E. A large rectangular shaped stone immediately to the S appears to be the remains of a graveslab of uncertain date.
