What is recorded here
Located in Sligo Dominican friary (SL014-065008-), on display on the S wall of the sacristy, with two other graveslabs (SL014-065041-; SL014-065042-).
This rectangular graveslab, probably late medieval/early modern in date, would have been the lid of a coffin-tomb. It is incomplete: the lower two thirds of the slab survive, fractured into two pieces by a horizontal break; the upper portion of the slab is missing. A raised central band, representing the shaft of a cross, extends the length of the slab, and two incised parallel grooves form an outer frame.
