What is recorded here

Graveslab in Abbeyquarter North is a graveslab in Abbeyquarter North, County Sligo, Ireland. The rectangular stone is probably late medieval or early modern and would have covered a coffin-tomb. It is incomplete because the upper portion is missing and the surviving lower two thirds are fractured into two pieces. The slab is on display in the sacristy of Sligo Dominican friary with two other graveslabs.

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.
