The National Monuments Service's description
A small fragment of carved stone found in the graveyard at Kilfenora c. 1954 and mounted in the ruined chancel of the Cathedral (CL016-015002-). The present whereabouts of this fragment are unknown. It is described by de Paor (1955, 59, and pl. IV (c)) as having ornament consisting of diagonal frets. Harbison (1992, 116) describes it as having a panel of fretwork and probably another with interlace.
