What is recorded here
Graveslab in Quin lies broken and nameless in the chancel of Quin Abbey church, its top left corner lost to time. It may have marked a canon, a noble visitor or a child buried in haste during a violent age. The absence of inscription does not diminish the dead person; it returns the story to imagination and mercy.
Situated in the chancel of Quin Abbey church (CL042-027018-). A trapezoidal shaped graveslab oriented E-W and lying recumbent (L 1.3m; Wth at base 0.58m; Wth at mid-section 0.64m). The top left portion is broken away and there is no apparent inscription.
