The National Monuments Service's description
Two rectangular shaped sandstone slabs both with incised simple crosses set against N wall of Clonaslee Catholic churchyard. A third much smaller incised cross-slab is illustrated by Leask as Carrigeen no. 1 (JKAS 1937, 108) and has been incorporated into the fabric of the boundary wall of the RC church at Clonaslee. This slab could not be precisely located within the churchyard wall. The remaining two cross-slabs (Carrigeen no. 2 and no. 3; LA002-012/LA002-012001-) are illustrated as being completely intact but both now have at least 1/3 of the W upper portions missing. Originally these cross-slabs (LA002-013003/006-) came from Carrigeen graveyard (LA002:013001-) in the townland of Ballynahown. (JRSAI 1916, 166; JKAS 1939, 187).
One of a group of three cross-slabs (LA002-013006; LA002-013003-) which were moved from this graveyard to the RC church at Clonaslee.
