Calluragh burial ground/An Raingiléis: This early Christian settlement (KE042-094001-), now a National Monument, lies on a fairly steep SE facing slope of Croaghmarhin and commands a magnificent view in all directions. Cross-slab (KE042-094005-): The visible portion of the stone, 0.9m high x 0.78m wide, is almost circular in elevation but its shaft is now set deeply in the ground. Both faces are decorated with a Maltese cross within a circle with a 2nd circle lying 0.04 to 0.06m outside the 1st. Holes occur at the centre of each cross but these do not form a complete perforation.
