What is recorded here

In the graveyard (TS083-019020-) to the N of the nave (3.3m N of nave and 7.16m NE of NW angle of nave) of St. Mary' church (TS083-019001-) there is an upright limestone graveslab (L 1.3m; Wth 0.68m; T 0.17m), the base of which is buried. The worn decorated surface faces E and the upper sinister corner is broken. It decoration is described by Maher (1997, 67-8) as consisting of 'a seven-armed segmental cross, carved in relief, with each arm terminating in a fleur-de-lis. Three cross-bands occur at the base of the cross-head, surmounting the cross-shaft. The base of the cross is buried. An inscription in Black Letter occurs along both sides, and survives in a somewhat worn condition. Only the following is deciperable (on the dexter side): A DNI M CCCCC (XX?)….DIE'…./. (A.D. 1520?)'.
