Located in the N half of a circular enclosure (MA030-051005-), which is situated within a burial ground (MA030-051004-) named League Cemetery.
An earth-fast, irregular-shaped elongated rock, probably bedrock (c. 4m N-S; c. 2m E-W; H 0.7m), has a cross-in-circle inscribed on the vertical W-face. The equal armed cross (H 0.23m; W 0.23m) is outlined by an incised groove, and is enclosed by two concentric circles (ext. diam. 0.4m), each outlined by a single incised groove. The shaft and arms of the cross extend the full diameter of the innermost circle (diam. 0.3m). The four quadrants between the arms of the cross are each defined by an incised arc, and there is a dimple, now barely discernible, in the centre of each quadrant. According to tradition, the stone is known as ‘Lia-na-manach’ (Stone of the monks).
