This graveslab, which was brought to our attention by Dr Jim Higgins, Heritage Officer, Galway City Council, is one of 'two remarkable tombstones' (see also GA069-001022-) recorded by Wilde (1867, 69) that were discovered in the rubbish that had accumulated under the site of the chancel arch of the church (GA069-001013-). It consists of the roughly hewn upper fragment (L 0.74m; Wth 0.52m; T 0.007m) of the slab, which is now embedded in the ground in the NE corner of the nave. The face is decorated with a large fleur-de-lis motif with traces of a smaller decorative feature below this on the N side of the slab. The detail is very difficult to make out. Wilde's (ibid.) illustration indicates that there was also a corresponding decorative feature on the S side of the slab.
