The National Monuments Service's description
Within Railstown graveyard (TS061-125001-) immediately outside the church (TS061-125----), being embedded in the ground 1m N of the N wall of the chancel and 0.8m E of the NE angle of the nave. A crude limestone boulder (dims. 0.68m x 0.75m; H 0.6m above ground) with a deep oval bowl (int. diam. at top 0.38m x 0.41m, at base 0.12m x 0.15m; D 0.5m). One side of the boulder has been cut to form a straight face, probably to facilitate its original position up against a wall.
