Situated within a graveyard (CL010-108003-) 3m from its SW edge. The tallest stone in the graveyard, this holed stone (H.48m) is a simple, undressed, upright limestone slab (H 0.48m) containing a natural hole (diam. 8cm) near its top. Otherwise the stone is heavily moss-covered and appears featureless. Swinfen (1992, 139) described this stone as containing two holes, and she suggested such stones ‘were connected with ancient curative superstitions.’ Sheehan (1982, 36) noted that these sorts of stones are quite commonly found at early church sites. There is a church (CL010-108002-) just to the N, situated in the W side of the graveyard.
