Graveslab in St. Dominicks Abbey

Lying prostrate in the nave of St. Dominick's Abbey (TS061-025007-), close to the N wall. Described by Maher (1997, 68), this tapering limestone slab (L 1.77m; Wth at top 0.51m; Wth at base 0.4m; T 0.09m visible above ground) is broken into four pieces which have been cemented together. It is decorated with incised lines. Though the top of the slab is broken off, the remains of a large outer double ringed circle at the head of the slab is visible with four smaller double ringed circles within it. Below this there is a circular knop from which the shaft, consisting of two parallel lines, extends to a trefoil base outlined by a double incised line.
