The National Monuments Service's description
According to Power (1908, 24) in Clonmore there is 'Cill Ghobnait - "Gobinet's Church." This is a little known, early church site on the farm of Pat Mullany'. Associated with the church (TS075-073001-) is 'inserted in the fence close by is a round, dressed block of conglomerate four feet [1.2m] in diameter by about a foot [0.3m] in thickness; it is either a millstone or (more probably) the plinth of an ancient cross. One face of the stone is smooth the other rough and in the centre is a hole 41/2" [0.11m] in diameter and carried right through, while close to the edge on the smooth face are two bullan like depressions of the usual character'. This possible cross base is unlocated within the townlands of Clonmore North and Clonmore South.
