The National Monuments Service's description

Inserted on its side into the external face of the wall of the entranceway of the house opposite a church (KK014-058001-) and graveyard (KK014-058002-). From the historical evidence for the church it is unclear whether a 17th-century church replaced the medieval church or whether the medieval church was refitted in the 17th century. In 1876-8 it was recorded that the ‘Church of Dunmore’ had been ‘recently thrown down’ and this fragment was noted 'built into the wall of [the] glebe garden' (Anon. 1876-8, 110). There is no visible trace of the church at ground level. The limestone fragment consists of part of the moulded round-headed arch of a church door within a flat-headed moulded frame, bearing the date 1604 in the spandrel.
