The National Monuments Service's description
Two medieval stone heads carved on sandstone corbels and part of a cross-shaft (Grant 1994) are now incorporated at S in the reconstructed wall of the graveyard attached to the site of the early monastery (LE033-006001-). The corbel (Wth 0.3m; L 0.57m; H 0.28m) W of the high cross fragment has bulging eyes but other features are work, and that (Wth 0.25m; L 0.59m; H 0.27m) to the E has a long narrow face with bulging eyes. They probably came from the gable of a twelfth century church.
