A broken cross-slab (dims 1m x 0.7m; max. T 0.13m) decorated with the stem of a cross and traces of a ring also has a panel of interlace and roundels at the edge of the stone. It was found in St Comán's graveyard (RO039-043007-) (Siggins 1996a), and is now displayed against the S wall of St. Comán's Church of Ireland church.
