The National Monuments Service's description
About 10 years ago when the Glencolumbkille Folk Village was being built this cross-slab was found. It had originally come from somewhere within a 20 mile radius and had been recently broken. It is .84m × 0.2m to .52m × 0.075m. A thinly incised double-banded cross, interlaced at the centre and with triquetra terminals can be seen on it. It is behind the cottage called 'An Longphort'.
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.
