The National Monuments Service's description
Located just NE of the surviving parts of the parish church of Moybologue. This is a recumbent slab (dims 1.9m x 1.24; T 0.11m plus) which has fractured. It has a representation of a cleric holding a chalice. Davies (1948, 114) was able to read an inscription to the pastor of Moybologue and Kilmainhamwood who died in 1721, but the stone is likely to be older.
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.
