The National Monuments Service's description

Narrow limestone slab in two pieces with lower left corner cut off and a section missing from the centre right side. Set against the N wall of the chancel. It is decorated in false relief with a Roman lettered marginal inscription:
HIC JACENT CORPORA MELCHIO/ WODLOCKE QVI/ OBIIT ….ET ELIISE …. NT VXORIS EVIS QUAE….
