I really wasn't expecting to find these glorious slabs here. I had come to see the rock art in the graveyard and only saw these slabs mounted into the inside of the graveyard wall on my way back to the car.
There are 5 or 6 slabs altogether. Some have lost all or most of their decoration, but two are very well preserved. There is also a rare Tau cross set into the wall next to the gate.

From Kells take the R163 towards Oldcastle. About 9km from Kells take a right turn signposted Crossakeel. Go through the village of Crossakeel and take the first right turn signposted Dromone. After 2.5km you will come to a sharp lefthand bend. The curchyard is situated on this bend and the slabs on mounted on the inside of the graveyard wall. There are some just inside the gate and some along the wall to the left of the gate as you enter.
