The National Monuments Service's description
Outside the Roman Catholic church of St Mary at Eslin, which was built in 1844, are two stone stoups. One is a rounded bowl (ext. diam. 0.4m; int. diam. 0.35m; H 0.15m; D 0.09m) on a pedestal. The other is a circular bowl (int. diam. 0.43m; D 0.15m) set into the ground outside the church door.
The original find-spot is not known with certainty but they may have come from an earlier Roman Catholic church at Cavan, represented on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map c. 400m to the SE, on the E side of the public road, the site of which is still extant.
