Set in concrete against the external face of the S wall of the 18th century bell-tower, built on the site of the Augustinian Priory (DU005-031----) in Holmpatrick graveyard (DU005-031002-), there is a 16th-century graveslab dedicated to Peter Manne (d. 1520), one of the last priors of the Augustinian Priory of Holmpatrick.
The tall slab has a Latin-Cross with expanded terminals carved in relief with a Latin inscription running down the shaft of the cross. The Latin inscription has been translated to English and reads; 'Here lies Peter Mahon [Manne] formerly Prior of the House on whose soul God have mercy. He died in the year of Christ 1537' (Campion 1969, 39).
