Lying in the choir of the cathedral (TS061-025003-) on the Rock of Cashel. A rectangular slab (L 1.99m; Wth 0.73m; T 0.06m) with a crack across the face of the slab, at the base of the cross-head (Maher 1997, 70) and another through the centre of the cross-shaft. The decoration, described by Maher (1997, 70-71) 'consists of a seven-armed segmental cross in relief, with each arm terminating in a stylised fleur-de-lis. A motif formed of three cross-bands occurs at the base of the cross-head, surmounting the cross-shaft. A similar motif occurs at the base of the shaft just above an elaborate pillar-base form. An inscription in Black Lettering occurs along both sides and ends and continues along the cross-shaft. It was transcribed and translated by Fitzgerald (1901-03, vol. 5, 440) as follows: HIC JACET EDUS CONNOIRE BURGES' DE CASS' Q OBIIT VI DIE JUNII ANNO DNI MCCCCCXXX PRIMO / ET HONORIA INY CABISSY CI UX' / Q OBIIT XXVIII DIE APLIS A DNI MoCCCCCoXXIIII ET DNS MATHE' CONNOIRE FILI' EOR Q OBIIT / DIE MES' _ Ao DNI Mo V _ / QUOR' AIABUS PPICIET' DE' PA ET AVE, 'Here lies Edward Connoire burgess of Cashel who died VI day of June A. D. 1531 / and Honoria Casey his wife / who died 28th day of April A.D. 1524 and Mr. Matthew Connoire their son who died ... '. Maher (1997, 71) completes the translation, 'God be merciful to their souls pater and ave'.
