The National Monuments Service's description

In a graveyard (MA035-003002-).
In the early 1940s the Irish Tourism Survey (unpublished survey) recorded that in the 'old graveyard is a very rough gravestone with a small roughly inscribed Latin cross.’ An inspection in 1996 found no visible trace of the stone or the graveyard.
