The National Monuments Service's description

In St. Mary's graveyard (TS083-019020-) 4.5m N of the NW angle of the chancel and 6.1m NE of the NW angle of the W porch. This prostrate limestone slab (L m; Wth m) is decorated with a crucifixion scene within a moulded semi-circular arch. The decoration on the slab is very similar to the central decoration on the S side panel of the White composite altar-tomb in St. Patrickswell (TS083-004004-) which was erected in 1623, though its present reconstruction dates to the 1970s. The slab has been removed from its original context and reused in the 19th century as a graveslab.
