A possible cross-inscribed stone with two incised crosses described and photographed by Gordon W. Forsayeth (1913c, 341-2) in the graveyard of Knockboy church (WA013-034001-). He describes the stone as an oblong grave-marker of slaty sandstone (Wth 0.25m [10in]; H 0.53m [21in]; T 0.07m [3in]) with two T-shaped crosses deeply inscribed on one face. The smaller cross had a circle over it. Other deeply incised lines were thought not to be ogham as they are curved and do not extend to the edge of the stone. An accompanying photograph shows two possible very crudely inscribed crosses and a circle. Listed in the SMR (1988) as two separate crosses. Revised by: Mary Tunney Date of revision: 19 March 2013
