The National Monuments Service's description
In a wall on the N side of the road in the centre of Kilkishen. The head (H 0.43m; Wth 0.37m) of a probably once larger limestone graveslab set into a low modern drystone wall on the roadside and reported to the National Monuments Service by Jim Neville. This is a plain wheeled Latin cross-head, roughly carved on the left and incised to the right of the main shaft giving the impression that it was unfinished. It is very roughly executed. Although the shaft and arms are generally of equal thickness (0.1m) the right arm is slightly wider than the left (0.11m). The wheel is a single line. The provenance of the slab is unknown but it may date to the 17th century.
