A Silurian grit stone (L 1m) with a square cross-section (dims 0.26m x 0.16m to 0.30m x 0.19m) which had been marking a grave just outside the E gable of the church (LE037-004001-) (MacNeill 1909) is now set upright inside the wall of the old graveyard at N. It has an ogham inscription on two angles, one of which is badly damaged. The inscription has been read as: G (A)T (T)...QENUVEN... by MacNeill (1909) and by Macalister (1945, vol. 1, 3-4), and originally could have read 'GATTAGNI MAQI MUCOI QENUVENDI'.
See the attached view of the stone.
