Two medieval graveslabs survive (raised off the ground) within the burial-ground at Kirkconnel. Both have chamfered margins, and one of them (a slab measuring 1.42m by up to 0.47m and 0.17m thick) bears the outline of a sword with depressed quillons carved in false relief. This slab is said by Pennant (1774, iii, 89) to have borne the inscription, in Lombard capitals, 'Hic jacet A[]m Flemeng', but there is no trace of this.
