The National Monuments Service's description
Two broken but unfinished quernstones are built into the inner face of the N wall of the church (RO021-083001-) where there is also a fragment of an ogham stone (L 0.47m; T 0.11m) that was first identified by B. Shanahan in 2009. This was initially read by F. Moore as OMT_F_H or OMT_T_B AT (Shanahan 2013, 85) but is more likely to be AT(or C)IMAC(or Q) [I] (Pers. Comm. F. Moore). This is interpreted as ATI MAQI.
