The National Monuments Service's description
Situated within a graveyard (CL009-059024-) to the S of a medieval church (CL009-059023-) and to the W of a later chapel (CL009-059027-), this rectangular leacht (3.65m E-W; 3.3m N-S; H 0.4-0.65m) is composed of limestone blocks with a flat surface of large slabs; its E face is obscured by rubble. A 12th/early 13th-century ringed cross (CL009-059028-) is set upright in a socket in one of slabs that forms the top of the leacht.
