What is recorded here

Graveslab in Quin marks a forgotten burial at the southern transept entrance of Quin Abbey church. Its broken limestone edge still points east-west, preserving the shape of a person even though the top and every name are gone. The empty stone does not claim to remember; it waits for the living to imagine who lay beneath it and what they believed about death.

Situated at the entrance to the S transept of Quin Abbey church (CL042-027002-). A trapezoidal shaped limestone graveslab (L 1.19m; Wth at base 0.52m; max. remaining Wth 0.61m) with its top broken off and missing. The slab is oriented E-W and there is no evidence of an inscription. A second graveslab (CL042-027019-) lies immediately to the E.
