The National Monuments Service's description
On the S bank of the River Suir, on the E side of Abbey Hill Road in Carrickbeg in the grounds of the Franciscan friary (TS085-004004-) which is partly incorporated in modern St. Molleran's RC church. A fragment (dims. 0.57m x 0.51m; T 0.07m) of a 16th/17th-century limestone graveslab lies embedded in the ground at the base of the S wall of the present church, near the SW corner (Farrelly and FitzPatrick 1993, 20). It is inscribed along the sinister side with raised latin script and there is a faint suggestion of a cross shaft towards the centre (ibid.).
