The National Monuments Service's description
Located near the W gable wall of St. Caimin’s church (CL029-009011-) just N of the doorway. A possible cross-base (originally in the Saint’s Graveyard, see Macalister (1916-17, pl. XV, close to 38(26)) comprising a subcircular, sandstone, flat-topped block (0.32m x 0.3m) with a circular, flat-bottomed socket (diam. 0.08m; D 0.05m) inside a carved circle. Two opposing radial lines extend from the socket to the circle. Macalister (ibid., 152) notes that this may have been a door-socket.
