The National Monuments Service's description

In pasture, on an E-facing slope in a field known as the graveyard field and immediately outside the SW corner of a burial ground (CO045-146001-). A rectangular stone slab (H 0.63m; Wth 0.3m; T 0.06-0.08m) with roughly cut-off corners leaning against a low stone field boundary. On the upper half of the stone is a simple Latin cross (H 0.18m; Wth 0.14m). The right arm of the cross has an expanded terminal while the left arm terminates at a natural curved groove or irregularity on the surface of the otherwise smooth stone. A socket (D c. 0.03m) on the top of the cross may be a later feature and its function is not certain.

The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
