The National Monuments Service's description

In the graveyard of Painestown parish church (ME026-002----) are three sandstone pieces that combine to create the conical top of a spire (diam. of base 0.51m; total H 1.73m). Each piece is octagonal in cross-section with eight raised ribs (Wth 5cm; H 5cm), but the apex of the spire is missing. In addition eight semi-circular limestone drums (dims 0.6m x 0.3m; H 0.3m) that are faceted could be combined to create a pillar (diam. 0.6m; H 1.2m) with eight facets that might have been the base of the spire.
