The National Monuments Service's description
A large recumbent graveslab lying in gravel in Ruan Church (CL025-070002-). A tapering slab (L 1.77m; Wth at top 0.65m; Wth at base 0.49m; D 0.7m) with a double-lined incised cross ending in a flat base (the shaft continues below the horizontal line). Aligned E-W with the head to W. No sign of an inscription. As with similar crosses in the church the ringed head occupies the entire head of the slab. Apart from a small piece broken at the bottom this slab is intact.
