What is recorded here

When recorded by Macalister (1913, Pl. I) this graveslab was the third of four lying inside the doorway of the Dominican church (GA084-001014-). It has since been moved and is now lying in the E end of the aisle, in front of the wall monument (GA084-001074-). The slab (L c. 1.87m; base Wth 0.69m; Wth across top 0.32m; T 0.16m) is broken in two pieces. Described by Macalister (ibid., 212, VI, Pl. VIII, No. 7) a coffin-shaped shouldered slab bearing an anvil in relief and an incised hammer. No inscription is evident.
