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.
KD012-010004-: The present location of a rectangular sandstone slab (dims. L 0.25m; Wth 0.2m) bearing a broad, well-executed, sunken Latin cross with splayed head and arm terminals and a broken, but possible pedestal-base. This is M. Kelly's 'Cross 6'. (Kelly 2006, 177) The presumed original location of this cross-inscribed stone at the early monastic site at Lullymore East (KD012-006----) is designated KD012-006016-.
