Lined up against the wall near to the cross are some very well preserve grave slabs. These are a lot larger than you often see - the largerst is 1.5m square.

These are fine examples and in a very good state of preservation, probably due to the tree cover too. I have to agree with Anthony Weir's comments in his Field Guide that the finest is one in the Clonmacnoise style.
