The National Monuments Service's description
In the graveyard associated with the Franciscan friary (GA125-058). This subrectangular limestone cross-slab (H 1.18m; Wth 0.68m; T 0.16m), leaning to the S, was broken in two pieces in the past but has since been repaired. A crack is still visible, running diagonally across it. The E face bears an incised two-line Latin cross that extends to the edge of the slab. A single curved line is incised in each panel above and below the cross. In the lower right-hand panel traces of decoration or lettering are visible.
