The National Monuments Service's description
This cross-slab is located within ‘Templenaneeve’ (GA040-013004-) and is fastened to the S wall of the church. Described by Higgins (1987, vol. II, 302, no. 30) as a roughly rectangular limestone slab (H 0.49m; Wth 0.22m; T 0.09-0.1m) that bears a crudely pocked single-line Latin cross with expanded or wedge-shaped terminals. The cross dominates most of the face of the slab. A cross-inscribed pillar (GA040-013010-) is also pinned to the wall to its W.
