What is recorded here

A small stone (Wth c. 0.44m; H c. 0.33m) with a carving of two entwined beasts is set in the coping around the O’Conor tomb (RO039-055003-) at Roscommon abbey (RO039-055001-). They are probably intended as deer as they appear to have antlers. (Siggins 1994) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 25 June, 2015

Probably dating to the early medieval period, the entwined beasts may represent symbolic or mythological themes common in Insular art, potentially reflecting local folklore or status symbols associated with the O’Conor family.
