The slab was used as a gravemarker in the graveyard (KD035-022015-) at St. Michael’s parish church (KD035-022-014-) but is now housed in the Athy Heritage Centre and Museum in Emily Square. A small rectangular piece of limestone (L 0.28m; Wth 0.22m; T 0.055m) carries the crucifixion in false relief; the figure nailed to a Latin cross with splayed arms. The head is bent on to the right shoulder, the arms are stretched upwards and the figure is wearing an elaborate perizonium. Dates to the 16th/17th-century. (Bradley et al. 1986, vol. 1, 53).
