The present location, in the Bog of Allen Nature Centre Museum, of a broken, roughly triangular-shaped sandstone slab (dims. L 0.40m; Wth 0.21m) bearing a lightly incised, Latin cross with two roughly concentric rings in false relief behind. At the centre of the main cross is a second, small cross with T-shaped terminals on the head and arms. This is M. Kelly's 'Cross 1'. (Kelly 2006, 175) The presumed original location of this cross-inscribed stone at the early monastic site at Lullymore East (KD012-006----) is designated KD012-006021-. Seven more cross-inscribed stones (KD012-010----, KD012-010001- to KD012-010005- and KD012-010008-) and two crosses (KD012-010006- and KD012-010007-) were moved from the early ecclesiastical site at Lullymore East (KD012-006----) and incorporated in a nearby 1798 memorial in Lullymore West.
