The National Monuments Service's description
A recumbent graveslab lying in the nave of Ruan church (CL025-070002-). A tapering slab (L 1.06m; Wth at top 0.5m; Wth at base 0.43m; D 0.05m) with a double-lined incised ringed cross, aligned E-W with the head to W. The bottom of the cross is broken away - the incised shaft looks to have extended further down. No evidence of an inscription. A graveslab with a similar cross-head (CL025-070008-) lies immediately adjacent to W.
