The National Monuments Service's description
Within a graveyard (TS069-06004-) and c. 7m S of the centre of the S wall of the nave of Mora church (TS069-060001-). A tapering limestone graveslab (dims. L c. 1.62m; Wth 0.4-0.52m; T c. 0.14m) which is partially imbedded in the ground, lying prostrate. The smooth upper surface of the slab bears a very faded incised cross, only three circles are visible but it appears to be a four-armed trefoil-headed cross similar to the 13th/14th century graveslab (TS069-060006-) in the church interior. The narrow cross shaft (Wth c. 3-4cm) is also visible. The base of the slab is broken off. There are at least three other graveslabs (TS069-060007-; TS069-060008-; TS069-060009-) within or just beside the church which are similar in form though no inscription or decoration is visible on these.
