What is recorded here

Top half of rectangular graveslab (dims. H 0.76m x Wth 0.66m; T 0.17m) decorated in false-relief with an eight-armed segmented cross-head with four fleur-de-lis terminals contained within an incised double line circle, standing upright in SE quadrant of graveyard (KD020-009006-). A narrow chamfer can be seen running across the top of the graveslab. The precise location of the lower half of the graveslab could not be identified. According to Mr. Brian McCabe (pers. comm.) of the Naas Local History Group, a survey of the graveyard revealed, ' the two halves (in two separate areas of the graveyard) of a neatly executed limestone graveslab with an eight-point floriate cross in circle with a narrow carved shaft terminating in Calvary steps.'
