The National Monuments Service's description
In a children's burial ground (MA048-0370012-).
Neary (1913-14, 18, 23) suggests that there may have been an early church here, based on the placename 'Kilcormack', which is recorded on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. A bullaun stone (MA048-037003-) is built into the field wall on the E side of the burial ground. There is no visible trace of a church.
