What is recorded here

One of two late medieval graveslabs at Donard church (WI021-005001-). A recumbent tapering slab (L 1.79m; Wth 0.74-0.53m; T 0.19m) with bevelled edges immediately inside W door believed locally to cover the grave of St. Sylvester. The upper face is ornamented by a cross in outline at either end joined by shafts. A second tapering slab (WI021-005005-) (L 1.06m; Wth at top 0.54m; T 0.28m) with similar but cruder ornament is now erect outside the E gable of the church.
