The National Monuments Service's description

Associated with the church (LF04-007001-). A report in 1942 (ITA Survey) recorded a graveslab lying on the ground within the church. It was described it as a ‘small inscribed cross … about 21/2 feet [0.76m] high and nearly the same in width’. Apart from the date 1633, the inscription was not clear. Not located.
