What is recorded here

Tomb is a 14th-century sandstone effigial slab at the west end of a County Meath church, showing a crucifixion above two civilians divided by a tree of life. The lady wears a wimple, veil and mantle, her joined hands and pointed shoes resting on flowers; the man holds a book beside her. Their stone posture still distinguishes devotion from death, while the church keeps their names absent but their shape unbroken.
