The National Monuments Service's description
This cross-slab (H 0.7m; Wth 0.25m; T 0.2m) was found near the SE corner of Teaghlach Éinne (GA119-020001-), partly underlying a modern concrete grave surround (Manning 1985, 117). Both faces are decorated. One face bears a linear ringed Latin cross with a circular hollow at the top and a T-shaped terminal at the base. The arms project slightly beyond the ring. The other face bears a similar linear ringed cross with T-shaped terminals at the top and base. However, the arms do not extend beyond the ring (ibid. Fig. 25(a) Slab A). (See GA119-020013- for its original location; Higgins 1987, vol. 2, 408, no. 125)
