The National Monuments Service's description

Lying in the choir of the cathedral (TS061-025003-) on the Rock of Cashel. A limestone (L 0.81m; Wth at top 0.48m; Wth at base 0.56m) slab decorated with an 'IHS' in the centre towards the base. The inscription in Roman capitals is within a border margin with two lines, including the date, continuing onto the upper portion of the cross face. The latin inscription is transcribed by Fitzgerald (1903, 442) as: HIC.IACET.GEORG / IVS.COMYNE.DE.WADINSTOWNE. ...... / ANNO.A.PARTV.VIRGINIS / ANNO.DOMINI 1633. There is a large square hole (H 0.17m; Wth 0.18m) in the centre of the slab. According to Fitzgerald (ibid.) this slab is the lower portion of a 17th-century slab, however, the slab appears to be compete, with the raised border continuing along the bottom of the slab beneath the IHS.
