The National Monuments Service's description
In the SW quadrant of Toomour graveyard (SL040-140004-). One of three cross-inscribed slabs (SL040-140009-; SL040-140010-) associated with the leacht cuimhne (SL040-140003-). A fragment of a sandstone slab (0.23m x 0.2m; T 0.06m), with a cross incised on one face, lies on top of the leacht cuimhne. The cross consists of two close-set parallel grooves, crossed at right angles by a single groove.
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).
