The National Monuments Service's description
Located in Sligo Dominican friary (SL014-065008-), on display on the N wall of the chancel.
Trapezoidal graveslab, probably late medieval/early modern in date, which would have been the lid of a coffin-tomb. The slab is complete, but broken into three pieces by horizontal fractures. The edges are chamfered, and carved into a groove decorated with a row of small beads, giving the slab a decorative outer frame, but the surface is otherwise plain and unadorned.
