What is recorded here

This slab is described by Maher (1997, 53) as being located in the chancel of the Augustian abbey (TS068-013---) at Athassel adjacent to another graveslab (TS068-013015-). However, the slab could not be located during an inspection in May 2014. According to Maher (ibid.), 'It is the lower portion of a tapering slab (L 0.42m; Wth at top 0.22m; Wth at base 0.18m; average T 0.12m) which 'bears a lightly incised outline cross-stem terminating in a simple trefoil base. Although the decorated surface is somewhat weathered the design is decipherable. There is no evidence to suggest that the slab bore an inscription'.
