Graveslabs of this kind, flat stone markers often incised with crosses, interlace, or inscriptions, were a common feature of early medieval and later Irish ecclesiastical sites, placed over the burial plots of clergy, patrons, or persons of local standing. What makes any individual example worth attention is usually the quality or idiosyncrasy of its carving, its association with a particular church or saint, or simply the question of why it survives at all when so many others have been lost to field clearance or reuse as building material.

The notes available for this particular slab are thin to the point of near silence. The monument is registered and classified, which means it was identified and considered significant enough to record during fieldwork, but the details that would allow a fuller account, its dimensions, its decorative programme, its condition, its precise relationship to any surrounding ecclesiastical remains, have not yet been made publicly available. Killeely More is a small rural townland, and graveslabs in such settings sometimes turn out to be the last legible trace of a vanished church site or burial ground, the land around them long since absorbed into farmland with little to mark what once stood there.
