The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle N-NE-facing slope. An ogham stone (grit, 1.32 x 0.38 x 0.28m), which has been read as DOMOKI (Macalister 1945, 291, no. 301), was moved from the central structure of church (WA005-014001-) c. 1880 to a nearby farmhouse (WA005-012----). 'It [also] bears what is apparently intended to be an equal-armed cross pattée in cavo rilievo, with pellets on the arms, enclosed in a circle, as well as a Latin cross with a crescent-shaped expansion at the base' (Macalister 1945, 291, no. 301). (Moore 1999, 1500)
