The National Monuments Service's description
A stone (L 1.24m; visible Wth 0.6m; T 0.15m) is set as a lintel over the embrasure of the N window in the chancel of Kilmolash church (WA029-017001-). It has a cross (dims. 41cm x 33cm) in false relief with rounded angles. Buckley (1899, 47) suggests that it might have formed the lintel of a doorway to the original church, while Power (1908B, 5) regards this as part of the original altar.
