Narrow, tapering graveslab, found originally at E end of graveyard (CO017-101001-), just above ground level (Grove White 1905-25, vol. 1, 348-50). Housed in church (CO017-101002-); access not gained. Eight-armed ringed cross with trefoil terminals on the trapezium-shaped stone bordered by black letter inscription, difficult to read but probably dating to 1508 (Zajac et al, 1995, 17; Fitzgerald 1904-6); lower end of slab (L 3ft; Wth 23in, narrowing to 18in; T 5in) has broken off.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
