The National Monuments Service's description
Built into the N pier of the gate to the graveyard (CV014-028009-). It is described (O’Donvan 1995, 197) as ‘Fragment of a cross-inscribed stone (dims 0.32m x 0.27m; Wth 0.15m) decorated with a small cross (0.18m x 0.17m across arms) with expanded terminals, incorporated into masonry of N gate-pier at entrance to graveyard. Top right and bottom left corners of stone have been shattered.’ It is not evident in 2018.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
