What is recorded here

An incised double-lined ringed cross on a pyramidal base marks the west wall of Dromkeen South, preserving a sacred identity through ruin. George Du Noyer drew it in the nineteenth century and William Frazer copied it in 1905, testifying that its clarity survived when the church itself faded. The slab still stands above the remains, inviting wonder about the prayers, losses and hopes that shaped its lines.
