The National Monuments Service's description
Built into chimney stack of Gleninagh lodge (Spellissy 1987, 102) now obscured by dense ivy and briar cover, c. 60m S of Gleninagh Castle (CL002-007001-). Recorded as ‘a stone slab bearing the date 1650 and a carved cross built into one of the chimney stack’s’ (ibid.). Cunningham (1980, 35) noted additional indecipherable text. It may have originally been associated with the holy well (CL002-007002-) c. 55m NNW or the ecclesiastical complex (CL002-008----) c. 150m to the S.
