This tapering graveslab (H 1.75m; Wth across to 0.79m Wth across base 0.6m; T 0.11m) is now pinned upright against the W wall of the lateral aisle of the Dominican church (GA084-001014-), to the S of the window. When recorded by Macalister (1913, Pl. 1) it was lying recumbent in the porch. Macalister (ibid., 212, IV, Pl. VII, No. 4) described it as a ‘broad, slightly coffin-shaped slab, bearing a cross with interlaced lozenge-shaped head, on a plain plaited stem. On the dexter side an interlaced pattern of six points and a triquetra; on the sinister a set of smiths’ tools – hammer, chisel, and anvil. In the upper sinister corner a reversed tetraskelion in a circle; in the upper dexter the initials IHS and the date 1631.’ There is no inscription. (Bradley and Dunne 1992, 36)
