The National Monuments Service's description
On the peninsula of Rindoon, c. 160m outside the town wall (RO046-004004-). A fragment of a cross-slab (dims 0.34m x 0.26m; T 6cm) with part of a semi-circular terminal outlined by two sets of parallel lines was recovered from the graveyard (RO046-004023-). There are two letters of an inscription which might be 'an', and the stone is now kept safely at Maynooth College. (Bradley and Dunne 1988, Fig. 45).
