The National Monuments Service's description
Set upright in the W half of Ruan church (CL025-070002-) facing E and leaning slightly to NE. A limestone slab (H 0.71m; Wth at top 0.42m; Wth at base 0.37m; D 0.17m) with a double-lined incised ringed cross at the head. There is no evidence of an incised shaft below the ringed head. The slab was reused as a gravemarker and is likely not complete. The name Patrick O'Hendrick has been incised and superimposed on the ringed head.
