The National Monuments Service's description
Located in second S transept chapel furthest chapel away to S of chancel, recumbent grave slab lying at base of S wall of chapel. Well preserved but worn tapered slab ( L 1.92m; Top Wth 0.73m ; Base Wth 0.75m) lying on the surface of the S chapel. The surface is decorated with a tri-lobed cross head with a single letter in each lobe, line and knop below cross-head. Symbols of our Lords passion depicted on the slab. The cross-shaft rises from a stepped-base. An inscription runs around all four edges of the slab. This inscription is worn and was unable to read it because there were church pews located on top of the slab. 17th century graveslab.
