The National Monuments Service's description
Set in gravel in the middle of the nave of Ruan church (CL025-070001-). A tapering graveslab (L 1.46m; Wth at top 0.48m; Wth at base 0.38m) lying flush with the gravel with its head to W. The slab is much weathered but a simple incised double-lined ringed cross can just be made out. The lower end cannot be distinguished. The edges are rough and broken and the lower left chunk is broken off. A similar but more well-preserved slab (CL025-070007-) lies immediately to N.
