The National Monuments Service's description
In Sligo Dominican friary (SL014-065008-), on display within an arched recess in the N wall of the chancel, with two other graveslabs (SL014-065033-; SL014-065034-).
This fragment of a late medieval graveslab appears to consist of the upper portion of a trapezoidal or tapered slab. The edges of the slabs defined by two parallel grooves. In the upper half of the fragment is a panel of elaborate foliated carvings in low relief. The lower portion bears the faint outline of a central, vertical band, perhaps a cross shaft, and a curvilinear feature in the bottom left of the fragment.
