The National Monuments Service's description
In the graveyard at Threecastles (KK014-025007-). Describing the graveslabs, Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 268) noted, 'two uninscribed ones, with crosses of ancient pattern'. These are possibly the same slabs (KK014-025010- and KK014-025011-) noted by Buggy (1969, 15) as, 'Two pieces of stone with inscribed crosses of ancient pattern are to be seen'.
