What is recorded here

The bottom part of a graveslab (L 0.8m; Wth 0.5m; T 0.16m) was noted by Bradley and Dunne(1988, 104) and recorded by Gary Dempsey outside the W wall of the N chancel of Roscommon abbey (RO039-055001-). It has a moulding on the edge and the incised double line of the stem of a cross is visible at the broken end. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 25 June, 2015
Medieval Christian graveslab, 13th–15th century. Its significance lies in its association with Roscommon Abbey, a Cistercian foundation, and as an example of early Christian funerary art in the region.
