The National Monuments Service's description
According to Bradley et al. (1986, vol. 1, 79) it stands in a graveyard (KD029-011004-), to W of a 19th-century church. A tapering granite slab (H 1.03m; Wth 0.47-0.67m; T 0.19m) bears an incised cross with expanded arms, and is probably pre-1200 in date. (Corlett 2003, 87, 88, 106, Slab 1)
