What is recorded here
Located in Strade Dominican friary (MA070-067001-). This graveslab, possibly thirteenth-century in date, is one of a group of five (see also MA070-067004-; MA070-067007-; MA070-067009-; MA070-067010-) on displayed against the S wall of the chancel. It consists of the lower section of a tapered or wedge-shaped slab. It features a raised band around its edge and a centrally placed low-relief shaft of a cross. The cross shaft has a trefoil terminal, suggesting that the complete slab was adorned with a bottonée or foliated cross, of the type visible on two intact grave-slabs (MA070-067004-; MA070-067010-).
