The National Monuments Service's description

Lying prostrate in the S transept of St. Dominick's Abbey (TS061-025007-), at the base of the S wall. Described by Maher (1997, 69). The upper portion of this tapering limestone slab (surviving L 1.47m; Wth at top 0.62m; Wth at base 0.44m; T 0.12m) is missing. It is decorated with incised lines. Though the top of the slab is broken off, the remains of two double ringed circles are visible with a lower semi-circular incised line between them. Below this there is a circular knop from which the shaft, consisting of two parallel lines, extends to a trefoil base outlined by a double incised line. A column base for the W aisle of the transept rests on this graveslab.
