The National Monuments Service's description

A stone slab 1.05m high, .35m wide and up to .15m thick. On one face is a Latin cross with T-bar terminals. A cross on the other side is nearer in shape to the Greek form. It also has T-bar terminals. It is at present located beside a field boundary in marshy pasture land, but is not in situ and its original location is unknown.

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.
