This was the site of a sixth century monastic settlement founded by St. Mura, but nothing remains of that now. The cross slab is quite large - 1.6m tall x 1m wide - and has a large Latin cross carved on both sides. The west face also has two figures with long hair. Down one edge is one of Ireland's few Greek inscriptions.
As you enter the graveyard here it is worth taking note of the holed stone and the small cross slab that are mounted into the wall either side of the gateway.
