What is recorded here

Within the burial ground (LF023-113002-) c. 30m to the NE of the Cistercian abbey (LF023-113----). One of a group of four graveslabs (see also LF023-113004-, LF023-113011- and LF023-113012-). This highly decorative graveslab (H 0.5m; Wth 0.39m; T 0.12m) has been erected upside down and, as a result, the carving on its upper part is hidden. A carving of a four-legged animal with its head turned backwards and jaws wide open displaying its teeth can be seen on one face. The rear legs of a second animal are visible above it. The decoration is contained within a border of nailhead ornament. A narrow roll moulding defines the edges of the slab. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 4 June 2013
