Standing S of the church ruins (LA014-035001-) in S quadrant of Curraclone graveyard (LA014-035002-). Present remains consist of a low upright cross-inscribed roughly hewn limestone rectangular shaped slab (H 0.45m; Wth 0.30m; T 0.11m) decorated with a simple Latin cross on its east face which was located lying down flat approx 15m NW of the gate entrance of the graveyard (LA014-035002-). The stone is now upright with only the top half of the cross visible above the surface of the graveyard. The terminals of both arms and shaft of the cross are T-shaped the cross bar being slightly concave in shape (Fitzpatrick 1991, 213).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
