The National Monuments Service's description
A granite slab (H 0.65m; Wth 0.47m; T 0.23m) with a Latin cross in relief on the W face. (Harbison 1991, 181 (No. 6)). Corlett (2003, 94-5) suggests that this is of late medieval date and that the visible cross is a terminal cross and the main cross is hidden beneath the ground surface.
