Rathmichael church ruins stands on the E slopes of Carrickgollogan. This graveslab (L 1.8m x Wth 0.68m) is a Rathdown-type slab bearing two sets of three concentric circles, joined by a central band, which is divided into three by transverse lines. There is a cup mark in the centre of one set. At the undamaged end are two radiating lines and along each edge of the slab are five semi-circular loops. This is secured to the external face of the S wall of Rathmichael church (DU026-050001-) close to the SW angle (Ó hEailidhe 1957, 77, 79).
See attached drawing of graveslab taken from Healy 2009, 82.
