The National Monuments Service's description
There is an ogham stone (Buckley 1896, 219) used as a threshold-stone to the chancel of Kilmolash church (WA029-027001-) that has been read by Macalister (1945, 285-6, no. 291) as NN, although its authenticity was doubted by Power (1898a, 92). Macalister also noted that `at the upper end of the inscribed face is a cross pattée, flanked by two plain crosses'. (Moore 1999, no. 1494)
