What is recorded here

Graveslab in Abbeyderg is a broken chamfered stone lying against the south wall of the Augustinian abbey church in County Longford. It measures forty centimetres long, forty centimetres wide and thirteen centimetres thick, bearing a double-lined cross inside an incised frame. The slab may have marked a buried person before the abbey fell into ruin, but its owner and story have been lost. What remains is a small cross, still visible on the wall, waiting to be read.
