Lying prostrate at the W end of the S aisle of the nave of St Mary’s church (KK026-010012-), Callan. A straight-sided limestone slab (total L c. 1.86m; Wth 0.69m; min. T 0.16m). It is decorated with a seven-armed segmented cross with fleur-de-lys terminals, carved in relief. There is a three-barred knop below the cross-head. The cross-shaft (Wth 0.07m) rests on a stepped cross-base. There is an inscription along the sinister border (Wth 01m) in Latin, in raised Black Letter script, however the slab has been broken in a number of places and the upper sinister border, with its text, is missing. The surviving slab is in four pieces, the upper dexter corner (L 0.38m; Wth 0.29m), the upper sinister corner (L 0.38m; Wth 0.4m), the upper centre portion decorated with the lower part of the cross-head and upper portion of the cross-shaft (L 0.63m; Wth 0.62m) and the lower portion of the slab (L 0.92m; Wth 0.69m), though the lower dexter corner is missing.
