Not located. According to Leask it was removed to St. Kevin's Church (WI023-009----), but it is no longer there (Leask 1950, fig. 19d, 42). Described by Leask (1950, 42) as a ‘small slab, 2 inches [0.05m] thick. On the west Face a Greek cross with hollowed angles is incised and a small hole is pierced through the centre. It stood 20 feet [6m] west of the Round Tower but has been removed to St. Kevin's Church’.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
