The National Monuments Service's description
Recorded by Macalister (1913, 212, III, Pl. IX, No. 14) who suggested a date c. 1630 and described it as a ‘handsome floriated cross, with a lozenge-shaped body and long stem: the base is concealed by the sedilia, under which the stone runs. There is no inscription.’
This slab could not be located on inspection in October 2018.
