The National Monuments Service's description
Two graveslabs and a sarcophagus are at the SE angle of the nave of Bannow church (WX045-045001-). The sarcophagus (Wth 0.45-0.74m; H c. 0.35m; L 2.04m) has a single drain-hole. The nearby graveslab with no inscription (WX045-045006-) may have been the cover for this coffin. (Bradley 1988, 79)
