The National Monuments Service's description
Located in Sligo Dominican friary (SL014-065008-), on display on the N wall of the nave.
Trapezoidal graveslab, probably late medieval/early modern in date. It would have been the lid of a coffin tomb. It is almost intact, missing only the top left corner. The decorated surface is worn, though carvings in low relief are visible in the upper section, comprised of four quatrefoils forming a lozenge, and the top and arms of what may have been a cross, the shaft of which extended the centrally down the length of the slab; the terminal of the cross shaft appears to be visible at the bottom of the slab, with at least one angled arm joining to the bottom left corner of the slab.
