The National Monuments Service's description
A cross-inscribed slab has been erected on top of the altar in the church (GA120-002001-). It bears a Latin cross with wedge-shaped terminals. The incision of the letters ST and G on the slab, presumably meaning Saint Gobnet, appear to be a more recent addition (information from Dr J. Waddell).
