Marked as a standing stone on the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OS 6-inch maps, this slab (DG028-012001-) has now been removed to the grounds of St. Joseph's Church in Rathmullen (DG037-023). It consists of a regularly shaped slab 1.6m x .36m. On one face a Maltese cross inside a circle has been incised, but only faint traces of the upper portions can be seen. It was originally located at the position outlined above, allegedly beside the entrance to a souterrain (DG028-012002-) (NMI) but no trace of this is visible now. The site is in gently rising pasture.
