Lying prostrate in the nave of St. Dominick's Abbey (TS061-025007-), close to the N wall. This tapering limestone slab (L 2.065m; Wth at top 0.59m; Wth at base 0.35m (including missing lower sinister corner; surviving Wth 0.27m); T 0.13m visible above ground) has a crack across the middle and the lower portion is broken into several pieces. It is decorated with incised lines. At the head of the slab there is evidence of a large outer double ringed circle within which is a four-armed cross with double incised trefoil terminals. Below this there is a circular knop from which the shaft, consisting of two parallel lines, extends to a trefoil base outlined by a double incised line. Maher (1997, 68) describes addition decoration 'on the sinister side of the cross-shaft is an incised herring-bone pattern. Traces of a matching design survive on its dexter side, separated from it by an outline stem with a circular expansion near its top. Linked to this are a number of incised lines'.
