The National Monuments Service's description
Two graveslabs and a sarcophagus are at the SE angle of the nave of Bannow church (WX045-045001-). One of the graveslabs (Wth 0.45-0.86m; L 2.24m; T 0.19m) has a civilian male and a female head carved proud and an inscription commemorating Joanes Colfer and Anne (?) Lusgin or Siggin with a floriated cross, but the inscription might not be original (Hunt 1974, vol. 1. 236 7).
