The National Monuments Service's description
Set upright at the point where the nave and S chancel of the parish church of Moybologue would meet is a rectangular stone (Wth 0.65m; H 0.87m; T 0.1m) with a hole (diam. 0.17m) through it off-centre. The stone is actually cut from a mill-wheel that is slightly convex on the E side and concave from wear on the W side.
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.
