Towards the N end on a low partially quarried away esker. A tall (H. 2.3m) thin tapering granite stone (base L 0.61m; Wth 0.46m; top L 0.46m; Wth 0.3m) has a later cross incised on its SW face. While the cross may be associated with burials (KD032-012002-) discovered immediately to the N in 1987, Meagher (1936, 192) records that, ‘… 100 years ago or more, Father Lawlor and Father Cummins lived in a garden at Kilgowan cross-roads …; and it was one of these men that cut the cross on the Long Stone’. (Walshe 1931, 134)
