The National Monuments Service's description
Three sandstone graveslabs were recovered at Tintern abbey without archaeological contexts. This fragment (max. dims c. 0.66m x c. 0.95m) is the head of a trapezoidal slab with chamfered edges, and it is decorated with an incised Latin cross that has fleur-de-lys terminals. A hammer and pincers are depicted on either side of the shaft. (Manning 2010, 104)
