The National Monuments Service's description
Set in gravel in the middle of the nave of Ruan church (CL025-070001-). A tapering slab (max. L 1.33m; Wth at top 0.44m; Wth at base 0.4m; min. D 0.6m but laid unevenly in gravel). Aligned E-W with the head to W. Broken across the middle with the two portions now 0.03m apart. A simple incised double-lined ringed cross occupies the main portion of the slab ending in a base with upturned steps 0.35m from the end of the slab. The ring of the cross occupies the entire head right to the edges. The base is rough and broken. A much worn slab (CL025-070004-) with traces of a similar cross lies immediately adjacent to S.
