History:Okasha/Forsyth/2001, 276: `The stone was found in the summer of 1944 during excavation at the site ... It was a stray find but Waddell and Holland do not record exactly where it was found ... During September to December 1944 the east wall of the church was rebuilt, incorporating many of the inscribed stones, including this one. In a photograph, possibly dating from the 1960s, preserved in Dúchas (negative no. 74), the stone is shown in the east interior wall of the church, just above the right end of stone 31 [TOURP/9]. The stone presumably became loose before 1986-87 and was then built into the reconstructed north wall in its present position'.
