The National Monuments Service's description
On the E-facing slope of Ardcarn Hill. A new graveyard (dims c. 100m NE-SW; c. 70m NW-SE) extending SW from the old one (RO006-103004-) and defined by masonry walls was built by 1914 and it contains the cross-inscribed stone (RO006-103006-) and a second cross-inscribed stone identified by Mary B. Timoney in 2015. This slab (dims 0.54m x 0.5m; T 0.15m) has an incised latin cross (H 0.21m; Span 0.18m) created by a wide stroke (Wth 1.4cm). The cross was taken from an island in Lough Key c. 1990, but it is not known which one.
