What is recorded here

Bradley and Dunne (1992, 58) noted 'at least five uninscribed cross-slabs of thirteenth/fourteenth century date' at the friary (GA070-035001-) in Claregalway. It is possibly that they are referring to a number of tapering graveslabs: see also GA070-035003- to GA070-035006-. This example is set in the floor of the chancel, 0.36m from the S wall and opposite the tomb (GA070-035008-) in the N wall. It consists of a tapering bevelled slab (L 1.7m; Wth 0.62m top; 0.2m bottom) that has been reused. A plaque dated 1987, set into a concrete slab (0.6m x 0.4m), has been placed on top of the W end of it.
