Graveslab in Gardens (kilkenny City By., St. Mary’s Par.) stands inside St Mary's parish church (KK019-026115-) in Kilkenny. A 13th/14th-century modified inscribed graveslab, made from fossiliferous limestone, reused about a third of the way up the SW wall of the nave of the church (Ó Drisceoil 2006, 35). The slab has been punch-dressed obscuring most of the decoration, though it is possible to partially discern an incised Latin inscription in Lombardic lettering on the right: + HI
