What is recorded here

Bradley and Dunne (1992, 58) noted 'at least five uninscribed cross-slabs of thirteenth/fourteenth century date' at the friary (GA070-035001-) in Claregalway. It is possibly that they are referring to a number of tapering graveslabs: see also GA070-035003-, GA070-035004-, GA070-035005- and GA070-035007-. This example is set in the ground in the SW corner of the chancel and is 0.53m to the E of the crossing tower. It consists of an incomplete tapering bevelled slab (L 0.97m; Wth 0.4m top; 0.36m bottom) broken in two pieces.
