The National Monuments Service's description
In Mora church (TS069-060001-), in the chancel 1m from the N and W wall of the crossing-tower. Though broken, this is the upper portion of a tapering gravelab (Wth towards top 0.52m; Wth towards base 0.47m; surviving L 0.8m; D 0.25m) which is lying on the surface of the interior. The upper smooth surface, which is badly cracked and broken, has no discernible decoration or inscripiton surviving. There is a slight chamfer (Wth 0.05m) along the surface edge. The underside of the stone is very roughly cut. It is similar in shape and style to an adjacent graveslab (TS069-060006-) which bears a Lombardic inscription of 13th/14th century date. Three other similar graveslabs (TS069-060005-; TS069-060008-; TS069-060009-) within or close to the church are also likely to date from this period.
