The National Monuments Service's description

Three sections of a sandstone romanesque window have been re-used as gravemarkers in Roscomroe graveyard. All three consist of a jambstone with a roll moulding of twelfth century date. One of these jambstones has a double roll moulding divided by a concave channel and is situated 40cm S of the inner face of the N wall of the nave of the church approx. 14m to the E of the W gable. Two other fragments are located to the S of the S wall of the church, one of which is situated off centre to the E and the other is located further W in the graveyard. A fourth jchamfered jambstone is of limestone and is late medieval in date and probably belonged to a late medieval doorway or window. This fragment is stiated in the SW corner of the graveyard. There are several smaller architectural fragments of both sandstone and limestone scattered throughout the S quadrant of the graveyard.
