A late medieval graveslab is located at the E gable of the C of I church at Lisronagh, formerly a medieval church (TS077-010002-). Only the upper (dims. L 0.89m; Wth 82.5m; T 0.11m) and lower (dims. L 0.64m; Wth 0.77m at top, 0.7m at base) portion survive. The slab is described in detail by Maher (1992, 30-36). 'It consists of a seven-armed cross, carved in relief, with simple floriated terminals' (ibid. 32). The top sinister side is broken off, but there are motifs in each of the three remaining sunken segments of the cross-head and outside the cross-head (ibid.). Three of these motifs are typically 'Celtic' in style and form (ibid., 34). Maher suggests a late 15th/early 16th-century date for this graveslab (ibid.).
