The National Monuments Service's description
This graveslab, which was in W wall of the church (OF004-013----), is said to be from Coolcor monastic site (OF004-011002-)(Irish Times 5/2/1975). It measures 44 inches long by 14 inches at the bottom and decorated with a ring-headed cross flanked by two objects of the Passion of Our Lord, viz. the ropes which tied Our Lord to the pillar and the ladder (Hickey 1974, 18-19). This graveslab together with an armorial plaque (OF004-013005-) and a wall monument (OF004-013002-) from this site are in the National Museum of Ireland.
