The National Monuments Service's description

In the interior of Moor Abbey friary church (TS073-011----), lying on a stone plinth at the E end of the N wall is a tapered recumbent graveslab (L 2.06m; Wth at top 0.73m; Wth at base 0.56m; D 0.17) with an incised ringed-cross with a pyramidal cross-base. The dexter edge, top and base have a chamfered edge (Wth 0.04m), though the chamfer on the top and base stops 0.16m from the sinister edge of the slab. Possibly of 16th /17th-century date (Lynch 2018, 34).
