The National Monuments Service's description
A rectangular (plan and elevation) pillar slab now at a dangerously inclined angle 1.35m × 0.27m × 0.1m. On the E face is a small Latin cross with bar terminals, now badly weathered. On the W face is a similar cross, except that here the right and left arms con-tinue slightly beyond the bar terminals. It is placed in a setting of four stones in fair pasture on a height on the N slope of Glencolumbkille valley.
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.
