The National Monuments Service's description

In 1993, Paddy Healy provided descriptions of three graveslabs (subsequently designated WI005-070011-, WI005-070012- and WI005-070013-) that were found following the collapse of the church tower (WI005-070001-) at Burgage in 1987. WI005-070013-: fragment of a gently tapering granite slab (dims. L 1.25m; Wth 0.40-0.60m; T 0.15m) bearing traces of a cross-shaft and arms carved in relief. It had been reused in the construction of the church. Its present location is unknown. (Corlett 2003, 92-93, 108 Slab 6)
The graveslab was subsequently located c. 10m NW of the NW corner of the towerhouse (WI005-070004-).
