The National Monuments Service's description
Within Kilvemnon graveyard (TS063-063003-) S of the church (TS063-063001-). This much worn contoured limestone plaque (L 0.69m; Wth 0.57m; D 0.15m) bears a coat of arms in raised relief within a framed border. The rectangular plaque is round headed with a single scallop to each side and is surmounted by a small rectangular projection (H 0.06m; Wth 0.12) which supported a pillar or obelisk. The shield (H 0.28m; Wth 0.22m) is surmounted by a closed helmet in profile which emits plumes on either side. This plaque formed part of a 17th-century wall monument within the church.
