What is recorded here

Graveslab in Innisfallen stands in the chancel of the Augustinian Abbey on Innisfallen Island, a plain tapered stone without inscription or decoration. It may have covered an abbey resident whose name vanished before the slab was moved into the church, leaving only shape and silence behind.

On Innisfallen Island in Lough Leane. One of two plain grave slabs (see KE066-072013----) in the chancel of the church of the Augustinian Abbey (KE066-072001-).
