Two cross inscribed graveslabs (WM004-035027-) are set against the external S wall of the nave of the Abbey (WM004-035010-). Their findplace is not recorded but it is likely from their position that they were found in the cloister and probably represent the burial place of two priors. Weathered coffin-shaped granite graveslab (dims. H 1.68m; Wth 0.3-0.48m; T 0.18m) of 13th or 14th century date with an incised fleur-de-lis cross (Bradley et. al. 1985, 87).

Early Christian Christian graveslabs, 7th–9th century; significant for their cross inscriptions and association with a monastic site, reflecting early Irish monastic burial practices and stone-carving traditions.
