The National Monuments Service's description
Two gravemarkers in St. Mary's graveyard (LH017-101025-). One to William Hynes (LH017-101012-) is possibly of seventeenth century date. It is a limestone slab (H 0.6m, Wth 0.38m, T 0.05m), gabled on top with an incised Celtic cross and a small Latin cross on top of the circle. To the E of the church (LH017-101007-) there is a gravemarker (LH017-101027-) of uncertain date set in the ground. It is a crude limestone slab (H 0.8m, Wth 0.4m) with an incised Latin cross. (Bradley and King 1985, 26)
