The National Monuments Service's description
On a SW-NE ridge. Associated with a medieval church (KK030-010001-) in Garryrickin townland, the remaining wall of which was demolished in 1973. According to local information there was a 'holy water font' in the church, however, as stoups are commonly described as holy water fonts it is likely that this refers to a stoup and not a font. It is currently unlocated, though it possibly remains in the vicinity of the church.
