In Mora church (TS069-060001-), embedded on its side in the ground under the crossing-tower. A tapering limestone graveslab (dims. L 1.13m; min. Wth 0.54m; T 0.25m) which is broken towards the base. The smooth upper surface of the slab, only the sinister side is visible, is decorated with a four-armed trefoil-headed cross of double incised lines, with a double incised circular knop (diam. 0.12m) beneath the cross-head and a narrow incised cross-shaft (Wth 0.0375m). Along the sinister side there is an incised inscription in Lombardic script, though only occasional letters are discernible. The style of cross together with the Lombardic script suggests a 13th/14th date for this graveslab. Four other similar graveslabs (TS069-060005-; TS069-060007-; TS069-060008-; TS069-060009-) within or close to the church are also likely to date from this period.
