Graveslab in Abington

The precise location of a cross-inscribed graveslab in Abbey Owney graveyard (LI014-014006-) cannot be identified. In 1907 Seymour recorded that the graveslab was located close to the Barry wall monument (LI014-014018-) in Abbey Owney graveyard. He recorded the following details about the graveslab, 'Beyond this are a few pieces of cut stone, and a slab on which is carved a raised four-point cross, the arms bound in a circle which is intertwined with them' (Seymour 1907, 363).
