At the entrance to a farmyard in County Waterford, just fifty metres south of the graveyard of Mothel Abbey, stands a stone that most people would walk past without a second glance. It is a little over a metre tall, cut from Old Red Sandstone, and tapers slightly toward its top. What lifts it out of the ordinary is a small socket cut into its upper face and, on one side, the faint traces of an incised cross with hollow angles, the kind of decorative detail that places it within a tradition of early Christian stone carving in Ireland. The name Cloghnacomirca is itself suggestive, the Irish word "clog" relating to a bell or a stone, and the pillar sits quietly on a west-facing slope as though it has simply been waiting for someone to ask what it is.

The stone was noted by P. Power in 1897 in the Waterford Archaeological Journal, which recorded both its physical dimensions and the cross inscription on its face. The socket on top is modest, roughly twelve centimetres by eleven, and about eleven centimetres deep, the kind of feature that may once have held a timber or metal cross, though no firm conclusion can be drawn from what survives. Incised crosses with hollow angles, where the spaces between the arms of the cross are scooped out into concave recesses, appear on a number of early medieval Irish pillar stones and are associated with sites of early Christian activity. Given the proximity of Mothel Abbey, a monastic site with its own long history, the pillar stone is likely connected to that wider sacred landscape rather than being an isolated curiosity.
