The National Monuments Service's description
Seven cross-inscribed stones (KD012-010----, KD012-010001- to KD012-010005- and KD012-010008-) and two crosses (KD012-010006- and KD012-010007-) were moved from the early ecclesiastical site at Lullymore East (KD012-006----) and incorporated in a nearby 1798 memorial in Lullymore West. Another cross-inscribed stone (KD012-020----) was moved to the adjoining Bog of Allen Nature Centre Museum.
KD012-010001-: The present location of a damaged sandstone slab (dims. L 0.31m; Wth 0.19m) bearing a sub-circular ringed cross with a slightly sinuous shaft. Each quadrant carries a short, vertical, linear incision. This is M. Kelly's 'Cross 3'. (Kelly 2006, 177) The presumed original location of this cross-inscribed stone at the early monastic site at Lullymore East (KD012-006----) is designated KD012-006013-.
