What is recorded here

Graveslab in Callan North is a broken fragment of a graveslab built into the west wall of the Augustinian friary nave. It sits level with the doorway top, showing two fleur-de-lys terminals from a cross. The stone was reused in later ashlar work, pulling a forgotten burial marker into the living wall where breath, shadow and foottraffic still pass it.

Built into the internal face of the W wall of the nave of the Augustinian friary (KK026-010016-) in Callan. A broken-off portion of a graveslab has been reused in a re-built section of ashlar stonework. It is N of the W doorway and at the same height as the top of the doorway. The fragment (dims. 0.45m x 0.3m) is from the upper portion of a graveslab and is decorated with two fleur-de-lys terminals of a segmental-headed cross, in false relief.
