The slab commemorates Edmonde Butler and his wife Katrin Lee, and is dated 1552. Floor slabs of this kind, sometimes called grave slabs or ledger stones, were set directly into the floor of a church or chancel so that the memorial sat as close as possible to the burial beneath. The Butler name is significant in this part of Leinster; the Butlers were one of the great Anglo-Norman dynasties of medieval Ireland, and their presence across counties Kilkenny and Tipperary is woven into the landscape through castles, tombs, and church patronage stretching back to the thirteenth century. Whether Edmonde was a minor branch of that family or a more distant bearer of the name is not recorded here, but the pairing of a Butler with a Lee, and the decision to mark both husband and wife on a single slab, gives the stone a domestic intimacy that grander monuments sometimes lack. The date, 1552, places it in the reign of Edward VI, during a period when the Reformation was beginning to unsettle traditional Catholic burial practices in Ireland, making a conventionally inscribed church floor slab a quietly conservative choice.
