The National Monuments Service's description
One of eleven granite early grave slabs recorded at Tully graveyard (Swords 2009). This slab (H 1.06m, Wth 0.53m – 0.56m, T 0.14m) bears a Latin ringed cross in low relief on which are five cup-marks. There is a small cupmark on each arm and one at the intersection. There is a semi-spherical boss under each arm and herringbone design flanks each side of the shaft. In 1989 the slab was taken into the care of the Office of Public Works (see DU018-419----). (Ó hÉailidhe 1973, 56-57, 135; Corlett 2014, 101, Slab 1).
