The National Monuments Service's description
This cross-slab was recorded by Macalister (1945, 521, no. 1), who noted that only a small fragment (L 0.18m; Wth 0.09m) of it survived. It was found in the wall surrounding the graveyard (GA029-180002-) in which 'Temple Jarlath' (GA029-180001-) is situated. Part of a two-line inscription was visible: the letter B and part of a T on one line and below these a small curving segment that may have been part of the letter C. The fragment is now lost (Higgins 1987, ii, 379, no. 99).
