The National Monuments Service's description
Lying in the choir of the cathedral (TS061-025003-) on the Rock of Cashel. The upper portion of a worn slab (L 0.59m; Wth 0.75m), which is slightly broken at the upper sinister corner (Maher 1997, 71). It is decorated with a seven-armed cross, in relief, with stylised fleur-de-lis terminals and an incised outline cross at the centre of the cross-head, and there no evidence of an inscription (ibid.) FitzGerald (1901-03, vol. 5, 439) describes the slab as 'Illegible'.
