The National Monuments Service's description
A cross-slab (0.38m x 0.22m) originally located in Killamery graveyard (KK030-008010-) but not currently visible. The stone bore an Irish inscription ‘Ór ar Thuathal’ (A prayer for Tuathal) under an incised single-line Latin cross (L c. 0.12m) with enlarged ends. Carrigan (1905, vol. 4, 315) described the stone as a very small freestone flag, thin and rough. (Crawford 1913, 261; Manning 1982, 378-9)
