What is recorded here

Graveslab in Burnchurch stands eight metres east of the church, a tapering limestone slab bearing a seven-armed cross with fleur-de-lis terminals. The plain border and false relief suggest medieval craft, while the missing inscription preserves a name lost to time. It remains a quiet marker within the graveyard, waiting for the identity of the person buried beneath it.

Within the graveyard (KK023-072002-) associated with the medieval church of Burnchurch (KK023-072001-), 8m E of the C of I church. A slightly tapering limestone graveslab (L 2.04m; Wth at top 0.64m; Wth at base 0.56m). It is surrounded by a plain border (Wth 0.06m) with no discernible inscription. The border along the top appears to be damaged. It is decorated in false relief with a seven-armed segmented cross-head with fleur-de-lis terminals. There is a three-barred knop beneath the cross-head. The cross-shaft rests on a simple cross-base with a slight concave curve on either side. There is some slight damage to the slab on the lower sinister side along, and slightly beyond, the border. Within the graveyard there are other medieval graveslabs (KK023-072004- to KK023-072010-), two side panels from chest tombs (KK023-072008-; KK023-072011-) and the mensa of a chest tomb (KK023-072005-).
