The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the floor along the N wall of the nave of St. Caimin’s church (CL029-009011-). A fragment of a cross-inscribed sandstone slab (H 0.22m; Wth 0.21m; T 0.05m) with one curved edge. It may originally have been subcircular. A simple single-lined equal-armed cross appears to be central to the original shape of the slab.
