The National Monuments Service's description
One of three cross-slabs (see also GA110-084004- and GA110-084005-) in the field to the E of ‘Teampall Asurnaí’ (GA110-084001-). This recumbent limestone cross-slab (L 1.48m; Wth 0.46-0.69m; T 0.12m) tapers from top to bottom and a natural groove cuts into the top right-hand side of the slab. It bears a deeply incised Latin cross. The upper terminal ends in a rectangular feature and the side terminals bifurcate around a flat roundel. (Higgins 1987, vol. 2, 309-10, no. 36)
