The National Monuments Service's description
Located within a small walled rectangular plot or shrine (MA033-001003-) immediately to N of a church (MA033-001001-) in the NE quadrant of a graveyard (MA033-001002-). Indicated as ‘St Dervla’s Grave’ on the 1838 and 1921 OS 6-inch maps. According to tradition this cross-inscribed stone marks the grave of St. Deirbhile, to whom the adjacent church is dedicated. It consists of a narrow, upright rectangular stone (H 0.72m; Wth 0.3m; T 0.2m) with an incised Latin cross on its E face. The horizontal and vertical arms of the cross have T-terminals.
