The National Monuments Service's description

Beside the tower of the parish church of Ardbraccan (ME025-022----) and close to the Montgomery chest tomb (ME025-022002-) is a side-panel (dims 1.96m x 0.72m) from another tomb that has three imperfect crests in false relief. It may have been associated with a slab (dims 2.26m x 0.95m; T 0.2m) that has an illegible legend in roman lettering executed in false relief that is now against the E wall of the church.

See the attached images of the side-panel (038) and cover slab (041).
