The National Monuments Service's description

The inscribed stone and the bullaun stone (LE001-063001-), which are now at Tullaghan Roman Catholic church (LE001-063002-), came from a fort in Doobally townland that was called Lisahurman fort, possibly this one. A limestone plaque (dims 1m x 0.34-0.38m) has an incised inscription in Latin commemorating Rev. Eugene Magowan who founded a chapel in 177?. (Ó Gallachair 1958, 28-9)
