Hamlin/2001, 53--54: `Macalister strangely listed this stone as `Locality Unknown ... believed to have come from somewhere in Co. Armagh', yet sources which would have been available to him allow it to be located with some confidence to the iomportant and well-documented ecclesiastical site of Connor .. There is much evidence, from written sources and archaeological material, that Connor was a sizeable, complex settlement in the Early Christian period, probably with monastic and secular elements coexisting. There was no monastic establishment at Connor in the Middle Ages, though there was an Augustinian community at Kells nearby. It is attractive to suggest that the inscribed stone is derived from an Early Christian period monastic context at Connor, but this cannot be absolutely certain'.
