The National Monuments Service's description
In a graveyard (KD028-049011-). Bradley et al. (1986 vol. 4, 395) mentions a possible graveslab, described in the Dublin Penny Journal (iv, no. 185, Jan. 1836, 229) as a tapering slab with a hole at either end, and measuring 6’ (c. 1.83m) by 2’ 2” (c. 0.66m), that was not located. This may, however, be the slab subsequently noted by O’Carragáin in 2000 (pers. comm.) as a possible threshold stone at the medieval church (KD028-049005-).
