The National Monuments Service's description
Situated adjacent to a cross (CL017-119004-) in gently SE-sloping pasture overlooking Lough Atedaun to the SE and adjacent to a large ecclesiastical enclosure (CL017-119001-) which lies just to the W. This architectural fragment (H 0.4m; L 0.3m; Wth 0.24m) is a window jambstone with a rebate for a shutter, a bar-hole for a glazing bar and an outer chamfer with a notch. In 1999, the stone was found in the graveyard (CL017-119003-) c. 18m to the W, when it was located c. 15m inside the graveyard gate. It was subsequently moved beside the cross (CL017-119004-) (Large 2011). This is one of several architectural fragments identified in the graveyard since the early 19th century (see CL017-119003-), and probably robbed out from ‘Kilvoydan Church’ (CL017-119002-) there, which is no longer extant.
