Within the chancel of the friary church (GA127-019----), this recumbent graveslab (L 1.91m; max. Wth 0.88; base Wth 0.74; T 0.09m) is the middle one in a row of three (see also GA127-019001-, GA127-019003-) set in the floor immediately in front of the E window. Described by Bradley and Dunne (1992, 163) as ‘bevelled coffin-shaped slabs’ of 14th/15th-century date. This slab, which is broken in two pieces, bears a Latin cross in low relief. The cross shaft (Wth 0.19m) is decorated with a repeated floral motif and there is a knotwork circle near the crossing. Each arm consists of a square panel: that to the S bears a Greek cross which was formed by subdividing the square into four segments decorated with fleur-de-lis motifs. The panel to the N has one large rosette. The slab is framed by a wide decorated panel (Wth 0.11m) along both sides and the base. An inscription below the N arm reads ‘HERN(?)LI’.
