The National Monuments Service's description
A small Latin cross with wedge terminals is visible on a quoin stone at the SW corner of Teampall na Naomh (GA110-073001-). It is possible that the slab (L 1.12; H 0.32m) the cross is engraved on was originally a door lintel (information from Dr J. Waddell). Possibly of 19th-century date (information from Prof. Rynne).
