The National Monuments Service's description
Two halves of a slightly tapering graveslab are incorporated into the roadside wall leading into the carpark to the S of Kiltullagh church (GA097-114----) and graveyard (GA097-114001-). One half is to the W of the entranceway and the other is to its E. According to Higgins (1998, 1-2) they bear elements of a plough, the vocational symbol of a farmer. The graveslab dates from the 16th or 17th century.
