The National Monuments Service's description
In pastureland c. 410m to the ENE of the monastic site at Drumacoo (see GA103-118001-). This is the N one of two 'Station Monuments' shown c. 20m apart on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map (see also 103-117001-). No visible surface trace survives and it was not evident when McCaffrey (1952, 184, no. 39a) carried out his survey.
