What is recorded here

Graveslab in Gardens (kilkenny City By., St. Mary’s Par.) preserves a small limestone fragment bearing an incised floriated cross, though only one fleur-de-lis and part of another remain visible. The cross-head holds a central incised circle, marking the fragment as a graveslab rather than ordinary wall stone. It now sits within St Francis' Abbey (KK019-026101-), where its broken decoration still suggests the care once given to a buried person.
