What is recorded here

In St Francis' Abbey (KK019-026101-). The upper portion of a limestone graveslab (L 0.85m; Wth 0.35m; D 0.15m) which appears to have been recut as, though the sides are straight, the very top of the upper fleur-de-lis and the sinister side of the cross-head have been truncated. It has incised decoration, consisting of an eight-armed cross-head with fleur-de-lis terminals, the arms projecting from an intermittently incised circular centre. There is an incised circular knop immediately below the lowest cross-arm and at the top of the incised cross-shaft. The graveslab is described and illustrated in Bradley (1980, 14, 21, no. 47).   Compiled by: Jean Farrelly
