The National Monuments Service's description
Two medieval graveslabs and other features from the parish church of Stackallan (ME018-030----) are now attached to the W wall of the vestry of the Church of Ireland church at Slane (ME019-023005-). One graveslab (Wth 0.37-0.62m; L 1.61m) is coffin-shaped with a two-line expanding cross inside a two-line incised border. There are marigolds flanking the head of the cross and a design at the diamond-shaped crux. (Bradley and King 1985, 150-1)
