The National Monuments Service's description
In the NE quadrant of a graveyard (MA033-001002-), 4.5m NNE of a church (MA033-001001-).
The 1838 OS Letters which record the tradition that the 'Virgin Saint Derrivla' was interred in Fallmore graveyard 'in a small enclosure apart from the church' (O’Flanagan 1927, 214 (112)). A stone-built wall (T 0.8m; ext. H 0.5-0.85m) defines a rectangular area (ext. dims. 3.5m WNW-ESE; 3m NNE-SSW) within which there is a cross-inscribed stone (MA033-001005-), said to mark the saint’s grave.
