The National Monuments Service's description
A stone finial found in the graveyard (KK009-044002-) which comes from a 10th/11th-century church, possibly Clontubbrid church (KK009-044001-) which is no longer visible at ground level. The finial has been placed at the apex of the E gable of the stone structure that covers the holy well (KK009-044004-) within the graveyard. It is described with the church record for Clontubbrid, though Ó Carragáin (2010, 308) suggests that the finial may have come from the early medieval church (KK013-023001-) in Freshford, c. 3km to the S.
