The National Monuments Service's description
In the SE quadrant of the graveyard (CW003-005002-) associated with Kinneigh Church (CW003-005001-). This granite slab (Wth 0.56m at top, tapering slightly to 0.51m at base; T 0.21m; H above ground 1.67m) is decorated on the W face with a cross and shaft terminating in a cross. The main cross (Wth 0.47m) has expanded arms, but the upper transom is missing. Extending from the lower transom is a shaft (Wth 0.09m) in relief, featuring a central groove. The shaft terminates in a cross (Wth 0.35m) with expanded arms. The lower transom of the cross is not visible. A square notch cut into the top right of the slab appears to be a later insertion, probably resulting from the reuse of the stone as a structural stone, perhaps a door lintel or threshold. (Corlett 2003, 86-7).
Corlett, C. The Hollywood slabs - some late medieval grave slabs from west Wicklow and neighbouring counties. In JRSAI 133 (2003), 86-110.
