The National Monuments Service's description

A wedge-shaped stone .78m high x .33m to .45m wide and 0.2m thick. On one face is an inscribed cross .25m x .25m. The inscription is now much worn but there appears to be T-bar terminals to the arms of the cross and possibly triangular terminals to the shaft.

The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated.
