The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, c. 60m NE of the site of a friary (SL031-006001-). A triangular stone (0.9m x 0.8m), set into the ground, with a hollow (diam. 0.49m; D 0.18m) in its upper surface. Indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as a well, it may be the 'Tober Cuimín' (see SL031-005005-) recorded in 1836 (OSNB vol. 1, 30). A possible church and graveyard (SL031-005001-; SL031-005002-) are c. 130m to SW.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
