Standing in W quadrant of graveyard (CW008-045005-) with holy well (CW008-045009-) and head of high cross (CW008-045011-) 50m to NNE. Large earthfast rock (dims. 2.75m E-W x 1.5m N-S; H 0.6m) with square-shaped socket (0.25m x 0.25m; D 0.2m) on surface of stone which has the appearance of natural rock outcrop. Possible natural rock outcrop in graveyard which was used as the base of a cross. Several architectural fragments belonging to the Augustinian abbey (CW008-045001-) are lying on surface of the graveyard immediately N of this large boulder. It has been suggested by Bradley (1989, 71), that this boulder may have been a bullaun stone rather than the base of a cross. However the square shape of the hollow on the boulder would suggest a socket for a cross rather than the usual bowl shaped depression found on bullaun stones.
