The National Monuments Service's description
A bullaun stone (WX049-008003-) is set in the ground inside the entrance stile to the graveyard (WX049-008002-) and a medieval graveslab (dims 1.7m x 0.38-0.63m) with an incised cross that has three fleur-de-lys terminals and a raised Agnus Dei – Lamb of God – symbol at its foot is within the graveyard just S of the tower. The Agnus Dei was a symbol frequently used by the Knights Templar.
