Standing upright in the NW corner of a small modern walled enclosure that has been built against the SE corner of the church (GA094-072001-) within the early ecclesiastical enclosure (GA094-072002-) at Roscam. When initially visited by the Galway Survey in March 1983 this medieval graveslab (L 1.59m; Wth across top 0.41cm; base Wth 0.15m) was lying on the grass to the S of the church; by November 1988 it had been moved to its current location (SMR file). The slab, which is bevelled, tapers from top to bottom and it is inscribed with a two-line Latin cross with a decorated head. While the decoration is difficult to make out it appears that the arms of cross bifurcate towards the terminals and there may be a fleur-de-lis at the head of the cross. The shaft of the cross extends along the length of the slab.
