The National Monuments Service's description
An upright headstone (Wth 0.62-0.72m; H 1.5m; T 0.15m) in the graveyard attached to the site of the early church (LE033-006001-), has three carvings of animals on the E side executed in false relief. On top is a lion rampant over a panel with a lion rampart holding a shield but the support on the left side has been truncated by the straight edge of the stone. This is over a panel with a hound that is slightly truncated on the left side. The carving is in the style of the Dobhar Chú stone (LE003-008004-) from Conwall burial ground in the north of the county, and like that stone is probably 18th century in date.
