The last confirmed record of it dates to 1942, when a survey noted a small stone slab lying on the ground inside the church, carved with an inscribed cross roughly two and a half feet high and nearly as wide. Only a single detail of its inscription was legible: the year 1633. Everything else had worn beyond reading, leaving behind a date without a name, a memorial stripped of the person it was meant to remember.

The 1942 report was part of the Irish Tourist Association Survey, a mid-century effort to document local heritage across the country. By the time anyone looked again, the slab could not be located. Whether it was moved, buried under debris, or simply missed in subsequent visits is unknown. The year 1633 places it in a period of considerable upheaval in Irish land ownership and religious practice, though nothing in what survives connects the stone to any particular individual or family. A graveslab of this kind would typically have been set flat over a burial, carved with a cross and an inscription identifying the deceased, and occasionally incorporating decorative knotwork or other motifs. Here, almost all of that identifying information is gone, and the object itself has disappeared into the archaeology of a ruined site.
