The National Monuments Service's description
In Mora church (TS069-060001-), on the line of the S wall of the crossing-tower. This limestone graveslab (L 0.75m; D 0.15m; H 0.37m above ground) is embedded, on its side, in the ground. The upper smooth surface is facing N and has no discernible decoration or inscripiton surviving. The underside of the stone is very roughly cut. It is similar in form to other graveslabs (TS069-060005-; TS069-060006-; TS069-060007-; TS069-060009-) within or adjacent to the church which appear to be of 13th/14th century date.
