The National Monuments Service's description
Within a graveyard (LF010-062002-). A report in 1982 (SMR file) noted a plain rectangular limestone pillar set in the ground between the SE angle of a possible nunnery (LF010-062001-) and the graveyard wall to the E. The top was broken and both faces were smooth and plain; it tapered from bottom to top. Its form suggested the possibility that it was the shaft of a cross but it is of unknown date. Not visible at ground level.
