The National Monuments Service's description

Reused as a lintel in a mural passage in the N wall of the nave of the cathedral (TS061-025003-) on the Rock of Cashel. This tapering limestone slab (L 0.74m; Wth at top 0.34m; Wth at base 0.29m), with a dressed surface and chamfered edges (Wth 0.03m) with drafting, is decorated with an incised pointed trefoil cross and pointed trefoil base. A serrated leaf springs from either side of the shaft below the cross-head. An incised line runs mid-way through the cross-head and shaft. Stylistically this graveslab dates to the 13th/14th century.
